As everyone knows July 14th is Dragon Day!
That is because, as everyone knows, a dragon landed in a cowfield in Henham, Essex, on this day in 1669. This incredible event was reported widely via pamphlet (the Huffington Post of its day) and became the foundation of a glorious drunken fair in which copious amounts of cider and beer (in the same glass) were consumed in honour of this fiery visitor.
So, like those villagers of old (or university students out on the razz) raise a glass of Snakebite to the Dragon and roar!
