I can understand the whole Japanese OAPs keeping WWII going in the jungle thing, but not so much on the largely barren Falklands.

They survived entirely on penguin eggs and Tunocks tea cakes stolen from isolated farm houses...

In 1877 on this day St Albans Abbey became St Albans Cathedral.

That's a major revelation for me - I never knew I actually got baptised - and confirmed - in a Cathedral.
Locals will still always refer to it as 'the Abbey'.

You’d only call it a Cathedral if you came from a long way away like Russia.

Come to visit cathedral. Tower is 83 meters high. We deterred by slush.

Bloody Sunday, 13th November 1887

Bloody Sunday took place in Trafalgar Square, London on 13 November 1887, when marchers protesting unemployment and coercion in Ireland, as well as demanding the release of MP William O'Brien, clashed with the Metropolitan Police and the British Army. The demonstration was organised by the Social Democratic Federation and the Irish National League.

Violent clashes took place between the police and demonstrators, many "armed with iron bars, knives, pokers and gas pipes". A contemporary report noted that 400 were arrested and 75 persons were badly injured, including many police, two policemen being stabbed and one protester bayonetted.
