My Mum is 82 today. The story goes she was born on the 13th, but her Dad was very superstitious so he didn't report her birth until the 14th. That was way back in 1928. Wow. What else happened that year?
- The Thames flooded.
- Trotsy was exiled.
- The II Winter Olympics took place in St Moritz.
- Charles Lindbergh was presented with a Medal of Honour.
- TV programming began in the US.
- The Royal Flying Doctor Service began operation.
- Mickey and Minnie Mouse appeared in a movie for the first time.
- The right to vote was extended to all women in the UK.
- The Summer Olympics opened in Amsterdam.
- Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin.
- Opus Dei was founded.
- The iron lung was used for the first time.
