Give Me My Eleven Days Back!

What I omitted to say, when deciding on the 14th September to start this trip, is that my calendar is a little bit second-hand - Ancient even.

Here's the page for September:

Yes, it's for 1752, but I did say it was old and has been recycled a lot.

Today's the Second, so tomorrow's the Fourteenth and we depart on the great adventure.

Hope everyone is ready.

It's lucky that my modern hi-tech pocket diary thingy reminded me to check my old calendar, and also reminded me that in England, in 1752, the Julian Calendar was replaced by the modern Gregorian Calendar, and 14th September came right after 2nd September.
Riots ensued in London and rowdy mobs demanded, "Give us our eleven days back!" outside the King's residence.

So if, on the Dover Calais ferry tomorrow, you hear "Give Me My Eleven Days Back!" echoing up and down the decks, then please buy me a beer.
Thankyou.
