This date is common or garden secondary school history stuff. On July 1st 1800, London O.K.ed the Act of Union and on August 1st 1800, Dublin did the same. Both decreed that the Union would take place on January 1st 1801. If you don't believe me, ring up a history teacher or suck on this: http://www.actofunion.ac.uk/timeline.htm Uns.
