What is happening to education in the UK?

[Anonymous]

From a report in "Belfast Telegraph" which i am sure will also feature in mainland newspapers:-

From a survey of 1000 children for a Brent Cross Shopping Centre it seems 20% of kids believe Jesus plays for Chelsea and 25% think the Wise Men found the baby in the manger with the assistance of Google Maps.

See here for further details.

Nothing wrong with using a spell checker. The problem is people don't bother, even though they know they should. The spell checker in this forum rarely gets used. You only have to look at all the badly spelled posts to see that. Thousands of them. Tens of thousands.

Mainly due to vast quantities of Thai whisky these last few weeks. So in those circumstances you are exempt from criticism. Actually @jonsie  whatever your situation, you remain far more coherent than many.....:smileywink:

eh?  YOU have CRITICS?    I don't believe that!   Name names and I'll get the boys round to sort 'em out!  They'll batter their apostrophes into hemi-semi-demi-colons before you can say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch

We'll brook no critics in this place.
