That's when it doesn't matter which way round your partner is...
Today, in short form, the day is the same as the year so if you happen to be in Japan, where they put the year first and the day last, it doesn't matter for once compared with the normal way of stating it.
At least they keep things in a logical order, unlike those muddle headed Yanks who put the month before the day and then throw the year in out of order. |

Was there just over four years ago and thought 'bit much' when they handed out the face masks before we landed. Within ten minutes the sulphur was getting to me and I was using it. But nothing like the experience the two tours earlier today went through. Sad for the persons or people, and their friends and family, who lost their life through a desire to see one of the World's more extraordinary geological features and a sobering reminder of the risks many scientists go through to extend human knowledge:
