Today Is...Most Popular Day In UK To Celebrate Birthday

Happy Birthday To you, Happy Birthday to you, I saw a big fat monkey and i thought it was you!
I am confident that someone out there will be blowing out candles on a birthday cake later today because September 26th is the most popular day in the UK to celebrate being another year older.
More children are born in late September early October than in any other time of the year which even with my tenuous grip on maths suggests babies are most likely to be conceived around Christmas.
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) the most common birthday in England and Wales is 26 September so if you are one of those you share your special day with Ricky Tomlinson, Anne Robinson, Bryan Ferry, Linda Hamilton, Will Self, Michael Ballack, Serena Williams and Jon Richardson.
Hope you have a great day and remember at least you are not as old as you will be next year unless you have the good fortune to be born on Mars then due to the year being twice as long as it is here on Earth, you would be half whatever age you are now so go with that if anyone asks.
