Happy Birthday Britain

Today marks the 300th anniversary of the signing of the 1707 Act of Union, which united the Kingdoms of Scotland and England under a new moniker The Kingdom of Great Britain.

Politics aside, I think that’s an event worth celebrating. A day for both English and Scot to put aside our differences and enjoy what brings us together as Brits.

So are there to be huge parades, fireworks in the skies, and nationwide festivities and a rip-roaring chorus of Rule Britannia?

No.

But there will be a commemorative £2 coin.

If you would kindly not spend it all at once then it would sure help fight inflation!
