The Zeebrugge ferry disaster was in early March 1987 after one of the harshest winters in Europe ever. The sea was unbearably cold and most of the victims died of hypothermia when they were trapped. Even though I was only nine I still remember that boat on its side and how awful it must have been in the early evening dark to have perished.
Yep, it's cold but spring is only a few weeks away and the sun is out.

Where I lived (Salisbury Road) was knocked down and some estate was built there...We used to live next to the old Whittington Stone pub that was on the corner, and my mother worked in the Hospital there...
Ironically I lived in a block of new builds by the Whittington Stone pub. My block was called Salisbury Walk and forget what the whole estate was called (Girdlestone estate maybe?) as it was locally called the "red flats".
Anyway, haven't been back for nearly 10 years so no idea what it is like now. It was a dive then and I was glad to be out.

On the cold football matches front - was anyone else at the England v Cameroon match in the 80s? It was -10, and the poor old Cameroonies all came out in tights and gloves. I think they would have worn hats and scarves if they'd been allowed.
It was so cold that the Mars bar that I had in my pocket for half-time was literally frozen solid. Nearly broke my teeth!

It was the second week of Jan in 1987, including a Monday or Tuesday when Brighton had a min of -10 and max of -7ish. Followed by a mild rest of winter.
2009/10 was the coldest and persistently snowy in Sussex for many decades going back.
