In case you missed it, 1st July 2015 was an important date.

First, it arrived a second later than normal (lie-in woohoo!), after a 'leap second' was added to 30 June 2015.

Not sure what they are? Read our handy guide here.

We assume you are all avid followers of this website and already know all this, but, just in case, have it again.
