When did Ronnie find out?
Andy Murray has a knighthood, did not know that
The origin of how we write our numbers relates to how many angles there are in each figure.
0 has no angles, 1 has one, 2(z) has two etc.
This lad explains it properly (around 22.40)

Much appreciated. I generally believe the best in a man until I discover the worst. Heās dead to me now.
8 the way he writes it
Balderdash
Look at the state of fucking 9 sure. He literally drew on a squiggly bit to get up to 9. And the two lines through the seven.
And a half line at the end of the 5 for the craic too. If they were going to come up with the numbers based on how many angles they could fit in youād have thought they could have had more creative designs
Aye, but I donāt think dogmatic adherence to actual angles was the point, assuming there is historic basis etc.
