Years that had unusual events.
This is not meant to be a quiz but will hopefully lighten things up and open up some interesting post, so get your thinking caps on
. I'll kick off with this.
1936 was a very unusual year for this country as we had three kings on the throne in that year,
King George V died and his eldest son became King Edward VIII and when he abdicated his brother
became King George VI, "Now that is unusual aint it??." Well I at least I gave it a go
