well said Jack , im 41 and I didnt know that.
here's my question for the day
when is midwinter ?

I have seen written down somewhere (I cannot remember for the life of me
where)

Midwinter's Day for England and Wales - 20th January
Midwinter's Day for Scotland - 27th January

Not sure of the origins or the reasoning behind these dates (or the
accuracy!).
