Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-9-2026 — San Marino

3rd September, 2026: San Marino.

Right, then … it’s officially Thursday … !

And Radio Four’s Today programme has been telling us they’re marking Norman Day.

In other words, they’re marking the Norman Invasion of Britain in 1066: some 960 years ago.

And covering one specific thing: the fact the millennia-old Bayeux Tapestry, the Tapestry made by the Normans to mark their success, is currently on display at the British Museum.

I doubt I’ll have the chance.

But I’d love to see that: it’s an authentic piece of history!
