Beverly Hills 20910

@ArmyofDave posted the following tweet which made me chuckle quite a lot this morning.

Dear America.
It’s not “Beverly Hills” day if you write dates properly.

Yes. If we write dates properly, as we tend to do back in blighty, 90210 would become 20910 which means diddly squat to us. This also, quite coincidentally, means exactly the same as 90210 means to us. Fact.

Anyway, it got me thinking. What other days may I have missed without evening realising it?

Using the very same logic as our friends over the pond, I think I’ve stumbled upon a few. I needed to adopt the same “selective inclusion of zeros” policy to make it work, and here it goes…
