1953
The Mount Everest Claim

Hillary and Norgay summited Everest in 1953, a huge British triumph.

Jed insisted he’d climbed Primrose Hill in fog the same day and demanded recognition. He brought sandwiches as proof. Nobody was impressed. The dog, again, got the sandwiches.

Mmm... did that actually happen?

Tell us about something that did:-)

Say "happy birthday" to Jed:-)

Or add more detail about 1953 — what happened exactly?
