Did You Know ?


Time for a mid-week 'Did You Know' post ... 

1. The British Pound is the world’s oldest currency still in use at 1,222 years old. The pound has been an identity as a symbol of British sovereignty.

2. When we are born, the only innate fears we have are the fear of falling and the fear of loud sounds. All other fears are learned.

3. While dinosaurs roamed the earth, they lived on every continent, including Antarctica.

4. The longest unbroken alliance in world history is between England and Portugal. It has lasted since 1386 and still stands today.

5. By applying even pressure to an egg, it is nearly impossible to break the shell by squeezing it... and talking of eggs have you tried these Egg Muffins? Simply delicious for breakfast, lunch or supper ... more details here

I hope you enjoyed these five facts - did you know any of them?
