Bulldogs are large, strong animals. Once used to guard and protect their masters and fight off bulls, today’s dogs are much more laid-back,and placid so make excellent family pets. Nevertheless, the traditional bulldog image persists of a stocky brute wearing a studded dog collar
During the years of the Second World War, Winston Churchill was known as the British bulldog. He certainly made an excellent job of protecting his country from German invasion.
It could also be why the animal is used as a mascot for Bulldog Security who are among the leaders in their field.

Then, hands up who knows how the Biro got its name?
Full marks to those who knew it was invented in the 1930s by a Hungarian journalist Laszlo Jozsef Biro (1899 – 1985) with the help of his pharmacist brother George. Although patented in 1938, it was the mid to late 1940s before the ballpen achieved international fame.
Before the introduction of this everyday object, those who could afford them used fountain pens, others simply wrote with what were known as ‘dip pens’, which necessitated dipping them into a bottle of ink and frequently getting it all over the hands and paper. The fountain pen had – still has – its own neat little filler.
