They're small, smelly, and generally found tinned or canned, but National Sardines Day is here to change your opinions on these surprisingly nutritious...
In addition to the lovely drinks and duly worthy commemorations above, may I suggest also raising a glass to four blokes from Manchester, who on this day made a bit of a mark on the music scene with their major television debut. Perhaps toast with a This Charming Cocktail, which is slightly, only slightly less interesting than a sardine.
