Also 23 April would probably equate to 5 May if we hadn't chopped 11 days out of our calendar in 1752.
Actually that bit is arse-backward.
The start of the year (the 'quarter day') March 25th became April 6th giving us the start of the financial (tax) year when they chopped 11 days out of September 1752.
