Re: [doc] FW: make poverty history

Damn claire you are old lol

but i digress... I too remember the cold winters with 6 foot of snow,
not this "new" snow that melts in a day, but proper snow that blocked
you in the close all week and made it impossible to even WALK to
school let alone get mummy to drive you in her brand new 50 seater
MPV.

See you tomorrow!!
