I now have 425 entries in my table for "On this day" ... but some days with several things happening and some, like today, nothing outstanding or quirky that has been added to my tables.  Members very welcome to get in touch or follow up here with what has happened on 26th February in past years!

4th, 19th, 24th and 27th March are still "open" days too.  Anyone??
