Harrods has been the most famous shop in the UK for over hundred years and today it is the third most popular tourist attraction in London ( after Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament ). It is the largest department store in the world and sells over 1.2 million different items.

 

The Harrods story begun in 1849, when a local fruit and vegetable seller called Henry Charles Harrod bought a small shop in Knightsbridge, London. At first, the shop had only once room and sold only few items of food, but after a few years it expanded and started to sell others goods as well. The store’s motto is ‘Everything for Everyone Everywhere’and over the last 150 years, Harrods has sold many unusual items, including luxury cars, airplanes and various exotic animals. In 1967, King Zog of Albania bought an elephant from Harrods as a gift for the president of the USA.

 

Henry Charles Harrod died in 1885 and since then the shop has had a number of different owners. The current owner, Egyptian businessman Mohammes al-Fayed has bought the shop in 1985.

The UK’s favorite take-away meal

A recent survey has shown that Chinese is the UK’s favorite take-away food. Indian food, which has been  being one of the UK’s official national dishes for many years, is our secondo favorite take-away. Of the 5000 people in the survey, 44% said they preferred Chinese food, with only 34 % preferring Indian food. Surprisingly, fish and chips and pizza are less popular with only 14% and 13& of the votes.

The top reason for ordering a take-away meal is being too tired or not wanting to cook. ‘When you have worked hard all day, the last thing you want to do is cook dinner’, explained surgery participant Gary Hill. ‘It’s much easier to pick up the phone an order something.’

But for others, heaving a take-away is a ritual. ‘We have been having a take-away pizza every Friday night for about ten years’says mother-of-four Beverly Stringer. ‘It’s our end-of-the-week treat, but only if the kids has been well-behaved.’

Penicillin

Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin by accident while he was conducting an experiment. He was growing some bacteria in a petri-dish when he noticed a strange mould that appeared to be killing it. The bacteria become contaminated because one of his assistant forgot to replace the lid of the petri-dish the night before.

The wheel

People Used a horizontal ‘potter’s wheel’to make ceramics for hundreds of years before somebody turned the same circular shape on its side and used it to create a means of transport. This was in about 3200BC. Incredibly, the wheel have been in use for about 5000 years before the invention of the train and the bicycle in the mid-1800s.

 

The Herald

Man takes first steps on the moon.

Neil Armstrong become the first human to walk on the moon’s surface early today.                             The spectacular moment came after he has descended the ladder of the lunar module Eagle, while his colleague Edwin ‘Buzz’Aldrin watched from inside the craft.

The landing, in the Sea of Tranquillity six hours earlier, used to be near perfect and the two astronauts on board later have reported that they had had no difficulty in maneuvering the module in the moon’s gravity and that the module was suffering no damage during the landing. The very first word from the moon has come from Aldrin: ‘Tranquillity base. The Eagle has landed’

During the landing, there were tense moments back on earth while the controllers at mission control in Houston were waiting for radio contact to be restablished with the astronauts. When the news of a safe landing finally came, the room erupted with shouts and cheers.

American president Richards Nixon, who has watched the event on television, described it as ‘one of the greatest moments of our time’
