I remember when everyone knew where Everest and the Nile were, even the numpties.

I blame this move towards "theme-based" teaching, which doesn't give kids a proper framework to hang what they learn - a map of the world.

If these kids are this bad, just think how much worse the following generation(s) will be.

Asked which facility had been visited the most during the past month, the DIY superstore came top with 39%. The local museum was bottom with only 9%.

Which just goes to show the obsession with houses in the UK. Sad really.

Boomed!
