In 1995, a father and son spent a week in prison for not coming to the aid of a neighbour who'd had a heart-attack while arguing with them


On this day in 1973, the English football team could only draw 1-1 with Poland at Wembley, and so FAILED to qualify for the 1974 World Cup Finals in West Germany


H.M. The Queen switched on the power in 1956, at the world's first full-scale nuclear power station at Calder Hall, in Cheshire, England


On the anniversary of Chopin's death (i.e. today!) a concert is held at his birthplace, a country house; the audience sits in the garden, and the musicians play with the windows open!!!
