WHEN DO ROSES AND BOOKS GO TOGETHER?

The answer is on St George’s Day, or Book Day, as people call it. Every year, on 23rd April, people give each other books and roses in honour of St George. The tradition of giving roses began in the 15th century. According to a legend, St George killed a dragon, and the dragon’s blood turned into a rose bush. St George gave a rose from the bush to a princess, and once a year,  men still give roses to women.
So how did books become part of the festival? The 23rd April is the date of the death of the famous authors Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare, so people began giving each other books on this day. The custom became so popular that countries all over the world have started celebrating Book Day as well.

ALL FOOL´S DAY


"The first of April
is the day we remember
what we are the other 364 days of the year."


~By Mark Twain~


 April 1st is April Fools Day. A day when people play practical jokes on each other.
Here are some of the most memorable ones in England:
  • In 1957 Panorama, a TV programme, fooled millions of Brits into believing that spaghetti grows on trees! The show announced that thanks to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop.
  • In 2002 Tesco published an advertisement announcing the successful development of a genetically modified whistling carrot with tapered air holes in their side. The extraordinary carrots would start to whistle once fully cooked!
  • In 2006 The Daily Mail reported that Tony Blair, in a "literally incredible break with decades of tradition," had decided to paint the door of 10 Downing Street red. ""After 270 years, Blair paints No 10 front door socialist red."
  • Finally , two years ago the  Daily Express claimed that biscuits were being mixed into tarmac to help make roads safer. "Scientists yesterday revealed that broken biscuits are in fact the perfect material to help resurface roads... Years of experimental research revealed that crushed-up ginger nuts are the best biscuits for a road's sub-base, as they are more porous and allow water to drain away.
