Happy world ampersand day!
The '&', or ampersand, was one of the first characters I wrote about for Shady Characters, all the way back in 2011. My original series on the '&' is still available (https://shadycharacters.co.uk/series… and the symbol has also guest starred in many posts since then (https://shadycharacters.co.uk/tag/ampersand/).
If you ever wanted to learn more about the ampersand, now is the perfect time to start!
