Women to propose .......
 

........ in the Leap Year!
This February is set to see a record number of proposals. Why ya ask? Because in true leap year style, February 29th will see women all over the country proposing….

According to Great British tradition, women are allowed to propose on one day, and one day only. This day is February 29th, occurring once every four years as part of a leap year.

According to legend, this is because in old English law February 29th had no legal status. The English people believed that if the day was ignored, so to could their traditions be ignored - thus, the traditionally male proposal was turned on its head – allowing women to take the reins and propose. Other reasoning is that as the day was used as a means of ‘fixing’ the calendar – it could also be used as a way of ‘fixing’ old traditions. In 13th century Scotland, a law was passed stating that should any man turn down a female proposal – he must pay a fine.:rolleyes:
