Happy Cinco de Mayo or 5th of May! Whilst on a trip to Boston in 2010 we were in a Lobster shack (yum), we were wished a happy Cinco de Mayo by the waitress (no doubt on a tip bolster, little did she know we was Brits!).

Turns out our colonial cousins will celebrate a toilet flush if it was a day or so ago and you can have a beer as part of the celebration. So Cinco de Mayo is remembered because of the Pueblan revolt against the French (gotta raise a glass to that) in 1862, fascinating, now get me a corona and drop in a lime.

Cheers and Happy 5 May.
