Given that I grew up in Britain I am both partial and used to British news. Thus, as some of you know, I read the U.K. ‘Daily Mail’, online, multiple times a day. It is my PRIMARY source of news, ahead of CNN & CNBC.

I also listen to the BBC news, multiple times a day, on ‘Sirius XM‘. Being able to get multiple news sources is one of the key reasons why I subscribe to Sirius.

I heard the ant story yesterday, and the rhino one today. It was NEAT. I wanted to share them with you. Now YOU know. OK? SMILE.

Well at least in 2024 the Brits can have a real SNAPPY answer when they get asked by Americans as to how they would be celebrating the ‘4th of July’.

Pretty special. Obviously, it is just another day in Britain. Not special. Most Brits wouldn’t even know of the 4th of July. It is not an important day in British history — though you could, of course, argue that it should be.

Well, this year they have an answer.

I am envious of them. They have two fairly decent candidates!

The 2nd graphic above tells of MY 4th of July in 1985.

I have, over the years, got a LOT of mileage from this story.

I am 100% sure that this happens even today, even MORE SO. I am convinced that less & less Americans know & appreciate their history.
