As I didn't post yesterday, I will also be posting two today to compensate. Here we go with our first entry:
R&R Fact of the Day #2 - The ampersand in 'R&R' actually dates back to 1753, when an absent-minded housewife named Mrs Willis misread the instructions and stitched the '&' onto the flag, not the the 'aw' that would have ensured the alliance was known as 'Rawr'. Although Mrs Willis' husband gave her a stern look of disapproval, he was left grovelling the next day when he hastily presented the new name and the commanders adored it. Here's to Mrs Willis!
R&R Fact of the Day #3 - It is rumoured that the colours of R&R (That's Rawr to you, Mrs Willis!) were chosen after some rapscallions painted the local town's cows blue and red! The cows were then released and, as they were parading through town, the local general remarked that they cows looked "absolutely fabulous" and the colours were "to die for".
More R&R facts on a day that isn't today!
