January 31 1966 AD: First Miniskirts Arrive In Longford

The first shipment of mini skirts to hit the heartland of Ireland arrives at Mary’s Woolly Boutique in Longford Town. She is besieged by irate female patrons demanding their money back and complaining that not all of the item has been included. Luckily many local farmers find them snug neck warmers and financial disaster is averted.
