The Telegraph forgot to mention that women too have anniversaries in 2008

The Daily Telegraph - a National UK newspaper featured a review of 2008 on New Years Eve. In Christopher Howse's article we read that around 88% of Men will have an Anniversary in 2008.

Well from the Telegraph's view, it looks like 2008 will be a pretty poor year for women. The Telegraph was founded in the mid 1800's and one could say that they still reside there.

We've written to the Features Editor of The Telegraph, asking them to commission us to write a double page feature on Anniversaries of 2008 for publication. We'll update you on the response.

Right now though, we are delighted to be able to publish our review here on YouTube.

We invite you to participate, to write a text comment here on YouTube telling us about women of note, whose anniversary is in 2008.

We will be delighted to honor and celebrate their lives here.

Thanks very much for that.

All the best, and a Happy New Year to you.
