  5. Thing I remember about winter 62/63 was the bloody cold ! I was a bus conductor at the time, working on the rear platform of the old AEC mk3, ( Daimler Fleetlines were just being introduced). Even with an overcoat on, it were still a freezing experience. I had some woolen gloves with the fingers cut off, but it was still difficult to operate the ticket machine and handle the money. I remember once when it was so foggy, that I sat on the front wheel arch so I could guide my driver, Joe Handley. He could'nt even see the kerb.
