I remember walking to school with a scarf wrapped around my face. I remember having nasty bronchitis coughs. At one time (early childhood) I was hospitalized. Once the clean air act came into being I never had any more problems.

I can actually remember a more dense fog from my childhood in the industrial steel town of Falkirk in Scotland circa 1959, where my hand actually disappeared from sight at the end of my outstretched arm. I was 9 years old. I actually had to feel my way home after school. It was dark as well and I could only see the dim glow from the street lights once I came right up against them.

For the casual reader – it is always completely dark in winter in Scotland at school closing time. Luckily I only lived about half a mile from school !
