I still use blankets - must've bought the last available ones; "We do get orders from hospitals" the girl said. Never got the hang of duvets...

... indeed yes: my parents didn't get central heating installed until 1970, by which time I had left home. The phenomenon of ice on the inside of the windows was, as you say, frequent. I did like the feeling of being very warm wrapped up in lots of blankets (blankets! - does anyone remember them!!! ) but with a nose protruding into the chill air of the bedroom...

hard habit to break, that nose thing.........
