1935: Penguin paperbacks are launched to make books affordable to all, creating a revolution in publishing.
1948: The British Nationality Act is passed, giving Commonwealth nationals the right to British citizenship.
1966: England, the host nation, wins the football World Cup with a 4-2 defeat of West Germany at Wembley.
Thank you BBC!
Oh course - paperbacks have cost me a fortune and even been responsible for educating the masses - not sure how good a thing that is.
Some people would question the advisability of extending British Nationality - but hey, look what an improvement to English Food resulted!
And the English cheated in order to win the world Cup.
So, good day!
