jun 9, 1841 - Genius Strikes or in other words, 'Οποιος δεν έχει μυαλό, έχει πόδια'
Description:
Cook walks from Market Harborough to Leicester (15 miles) to attend a Temperance Society meeting. On route, an idea occurred to him: “A thought flashed through my brain – what a glorious thing it would be if the newly developed powers of railways and locomotion could be made subservient to the promotion of temperance!” He strikes a deal with the Midland Railway Company to transport Leicester Temperance Society members to a temperance meeting in Loughborough the following month and the idea is received with enthusiasm.'Οποιος δεν εχει μυαλο, εχει ποδια'
