Yes, it's the anniversary of the birthday of everyone's favorite historical figure - Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington. His actual birthday is variously noted as being 29 April/1 May 1769. Should you be in London, the Duke of Wellington pub on Portobello Road (in which I've hoisted a few pints myself) is offering patrons a free drink to celebrate the occasion. Once you enter their website, click on the "Free Drink" link.
The only thing that could better the day and the offer of a free drink would be if we could all lift our glasses to the Duke of Wellington together in London.
Happy Birthday, Artie !! Wonder what sort of celebration the Divine Diane Gaston has planned for her sweetheart's birthday? I certainly do wish I could be in London to celebrate!
