Happy palindrome day

Excellent! I like days like that. I remember waiting for 56 seconds past 12.34 pm on 7 August 1990. 1234567890. I saw that coming and waited some time. I also drove The Indestructible Mondeo past 120,000 miles. I was watching the odo as I got near to one of my client factories in Essex. 123,455 miles as I arrived outside the gate. I drove slowly around the industrial estate until it rolled around to 123,456. I took a photo. Yeah, I know, I'm sad.
 
Ha, yeah I find numbers like these very eye catching too. The other week I noticed I had £1234.06 in my current account, and was really tempted to move 50p into it from my savings account (I didn't though).
I was annoyed when I missed my odo hitting 120,000 in my Civic a month or two back, but I'll be keeping an eye on it in a couple of thousand miles time (that could be a long wait as I'm only doing about 2 miles a week at the mo').

Actually I do remember taking a pic of the odo in a Golf I had, at 111,111 miles. I posted it on facebook and someone I knew responded with a picture of their Passat at 222,222. So we're not alone.
 
We were mildly excited at school when the date was 6/6/66. (Had to make your own amusements in those days, Four Yorkshiremen sketch, kids today, don't know they're born, etc etc).

There’s the one on Kew.Rhone but it doesn’t make complete sense unless you are fully on the same wavelength as Peter Blegvad. Which is a field of approximately one.
