1951
The Festival of Misinterpretation

The Festival of Britain celebrated British culture, design and recovery after the war.

Jed mistook it for a national bake-off and turned up with a beef trifle. It won a sympathy ribbon. The judges wept. Jed considered it a triumph of modernist cuisine.

Mmm... did that actually happen?

Tell us about something that did:-)

Say "happy birthday" to Jed:-)
