I have just learnt some amazing facts about 1752. In March of that year Parliament decided that it was time for Britain to come into the Gregorian calandar. This happened in two stages. September the 2nd was followed, not by September the 3rd but by September the 14th wiping 11 days from the year.
Next stage was the move of New Years day from March 25th to January 1st. yep until this year, Hogmanay happened to fall on March 24th.
These changes meant that 1752 in Britain was only 271 days long.
