Big night ahead? Maybe you're thinking of taking this vintage Guinness poster's advice... Today in #BrandedHistory, on the 31st December 1759, Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000 lease for the St James's Gate Brewery in Dublin, where Guinness is still brewed today.

#Didyouknow... Women’s football was banned by the FA for 50 years, from 1921? During WW1, women played to bridge the gap of the hiatus of the Men’s League. They proved extremely popular, raising money for charity, and the ban was through concerns they would outshine the men.

#Didyouknow? The Guinness World Records began in the 1950s when Sir Hugh Beaver, after a pub argument over the fastest game bird, realized there was no resource to settle such debates. 🏆📚

Happy Who-iversary! 61 years ago, the time travelling Doctor became Saturday night telly tradition. Many tapes from early series were wiped or destroyed, starting a hunt for lost episodes. 31 were recovered from Canada, 15 from Nigeria, 4 from Hong Kong and 3 from Cyprus! #museum

Who's this intriguing little guy? The clue's right behind him - a 1930s Mickey Mouse toy! Today in #BrandedHistory is the 18th November 1928, the day #Disney released their first Mickey Mouse sound cartoon: 'Steamboat Willie'. 🐭

#DidYouKnow? Fizzy drinks have been around since the 18th century! Johann Jacob Schweppe first founded Schweppes in 1783 to sell carbonated water. 240 years later, it's still a favourite, ranking 65th in @TheGrocer's Top 100 Brands of 2023. What’s your favorite fizzy drink?
