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!

You don't teach how a car works by studying each different material used to build it, such as rubber and brass, then listing where you might find it on the vehicle.

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