62/63 just happened to be the year where I lived at the time went smokeless ( remember smog ? not in the Hope Valley Dev ) I can remember ice on the inside of our windows which you had to scrape off to see what it was doing outside. Because my dad worked for the Elec Board as was, and got discount of electrical goods we ended up with a 2kw electric fire with artificial fibreglass coal and a red bulb jeez it was bloody freezing with 4 of us huddled round it trying to keep warm. My grandad came to the rescue, he worked for the GPO phones and turned up with some chopped up telephone poles. Don't know what they treated them with but my god did they burn. As you say happy days indeed.
