something about the 09

There is something about the 09 for anniversaries in this country.

Cambridge University is 800 years old, Selfridges is 100 years old, Marks & Sparks is 125 years old. And today Big Ben is 150 years old.

So I am wondering whether there is something about years with a 9. The Chinese think it is good and positive number, associated with the Dragon, Ramadan occurs in month 9, in Norse Mythology some fella hung himself for 9 days to seek the secret of the Runes.

So it is certainly a number that has featured in all sorts of important moments in history, in mythology and quite probably coincidence!
