On a walk this week I came across an alternative blue plaque which proudly stated the following:

'On this site Sept 5. 1782 nothing happened.'

As much as it made me chuckle, it also made me want to ask, how do they know nothing happened?

You don't need to be a celebrity to lead an interesting life. The beauty of recording the lives of ordinary people is that a lot does happen over time. We just don't shout about it. Maybe it's time we should!
