A bit of Beatles trivia just for today.

I also posted this over on FB. No fair peeking!


Anyway, in the Beatles' song "Penny Lane" one of the vignettes describes something that gives a hint that it's happening on a particular day. What day would that be, and for extra points, what did we call it back when I was a British Schoolboy?

"The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray"

implying that it is 11 November, which was called Armistice Day in the USA back when, and I believe it was also called that in the UK.
