Only one place to be on a date like this then - the O2 Arena in London...
02.02.2020.
Known as a "palindrome;" something that reads the same forwards as it does backwards.
Did you know that there's also a word in the English language, it's the only one, that reads the same forwards, backwards and upside down . . . ?

Quote:At a guess........OXO ???????
Alright, there are two!
Although, strictly speaking, OXO's a brand name but I suppose it counts.
The one that I was referring to is "NOON."

Oxo is in the Oxford Dictionary, so definitely counts.
In fact, it is more genuine an example than 'noon', as oxo is the same regardless of whether you use lower or uppercase letters, whereas noon can only work in uppercase...

I'm not convinced about the word NOON ??......left to right & right to left work OK, but hold
a mirror above or below the word & the letter N isn't correct as the middle sloping bit is now
the wrong way !!.....this doesn't happen with OXO !
The only letters that comply with the requirements are "I", "O" & "X" ??????
Blimey, this is getting deep.....I'd better water my drinks down a bit more !!.

That's because, as opposed to turning it upside down, you're creating a mirror image; everything's reversed.
Simply turn the word through 180º and it'll look exactly the same.
