Saturday's Hadleigh Breakfast Briefing
By Derek Davis 31st Jul 2021
On This Day
Black Tot Day occurred on this date in 1970. It was the last day of the officially sanctioned rum ration in the Royal Navy that dated back to 1665. It was poured as usual at six bells in the forenoon watch (11.00) after the pipe of 'up spirits'. Some sailors wore black armbands, tots were 'buried at sea' and at HMS Ganges there was a mock funeral procession complete with black coffin and accompanying drummers and piper.Today's Hadleigh sunrise: 05:16

Mostly dry at first, with sunny spells and just the odd shower possible. Cloud builds through the day with scattered showers developing, heavy in places, with a chance of thunder. Maximum temperature 23c, low of 15c.Orwell Bridge:
OpenJoke of the day:
A wife finds her husband sipping some rum on the patio, he says, "I love you so much, I have no idea what I would do without you". The wife asks, "Is that you talking, or the rum?"He replied, "That's me, talking to the rum."
