Yup, year I left school. We had our GCE's that summer, and my school let us take our blazers AND ties off! Major decision for them!

 

Spent most of my time trying to get into Angela Morgans knickers if I remember correctly...

I was 2, so nope can't remember a thing, must have been pretty warm though

Yes, I remember the summer of 1976 - I was 9. I remember the ground (dirt) was so dry that it cracked and looked like the desert and the tarmac on the roads was bubbling up and we were popping the tar bubbles - I have never seen that since.

I remember it too, baking hot. We haven't had one like it since.

I remeber it well. Our family chose the only week it rained to go on holiday in a caravan! . I didn't even take proper shoes, and remeber me soaking flares slapping round me legs and going through puddles in filp flops! Got home to find everybody telling tales of how hot it was whilst they did passable impersonations of lobsters.....

[Mrs O/H/C]
