This was their finest hour...

The Task has been set by Lee over at Surprisingly Bewildered, who is part of the Phenomenal Four team. The question we need to answer is below:

What, in your opinion, is one of the most revolutionary events/inventions that has changed the world since the very first moon landing?

Well, I am going to oust this and say that this was not an awesome event compared to others that had happened. If you want awesome events, look at the history of the Royal Air Force. Look also at the day Volkswagen was born.

They led to the rising of awesomeness in the world today.

The Royal Air Force was created on 1st April 1918. In 1940, the Battle of Britain began, and this was the first ever air-only battle. The RAF had just under 2000 aircraft, whereas the Luftwaffe had just under 4,100 aircraft.


This shows that the RAF was severly outnumbered. Saying this however, the RAF fought and fought hard, proving to the world that they were the best in what they do, and eventually they won the battle.

This was the birth of one of the best quotes in the history of mankind, and still is. It came from Winston Churchill after the Battle of Britain ended with an RAF victory.

"Never, in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many, to so few."
Those who were involved in the Battle of Britain
are still today known as The Few, and rightly so. We owe a great debt to these people, who no doubt drank Pimms.

This brings me on to my second but final topic of this post, which begins with a question I hope you can all answer with ease. Before I ask the question, I think it is right to state that Chris over at Potential Difference will definately know the answer to this...

What is heavily British and was first produced in 1823 by a man called James Pimm?

If you all jumped off your seats shouting "PIMMS" then you would be not just be correct, but you also can give yourselves a pat on the back and maybe even a gold star.

Pimms is the ultimate British drink. It is epic in Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring. Any Pimms will do, however, I have only ever drank the Pimms No. 1 Cup which is gin-based and seriously good.
When you take a sip from your Pimms No. 1 Cup, you feel British. I like that feeling of being properly British and I don't think many people can get that feeling any more unless they drink Pimms, simply because our country isn't what it used to be, mainly thanks to immigration.

It has even evolved into a canned form (Pimms that is), allowing you to buy 250ml ready-to-drink cans of Pimms and Lemonade, and they are awesome, just like the bottles of Pimms you can buy. This drink is however, rather expensive, but if you want a delicious refreshing drink which is utterly epic in every way, then it is worth it.

Guess what ladies and gentlemen...Its Pimms O' Clock!

  1. An epic post from me, simply because I said the word "Pimms". If my post just said "Pimms" a number of times then it would still be epic!
