2012 is a leap year and Wednesday 29th February is a leap day.
Once every four years, an extra day is added to the Gregorian Calendar to bring the solar year of 365 ¼ days into line with the calendar year of 365 days.
Traditionally, this is the one day of the year when a woman can ask a man to marry her.
One quaint old custom has it that if a man refuses a proposal, he must buy the woman a dress. Anyone adding to their wardrobe today?
