While the rest of the world get thicker my wallet becomes fatter

Esteemed customers seem totally unconcerned by their lack of knowledge.

Some of the retreads even manage to achieve worse results at the 2nd attempt than those they achieved the first time through.

Remarkable.

I blame the quality of lecturers nowadays. Public sector types spending all their time on web forums

Maybe on the DVDs you can choose a childrens' audio option with lots of sound-effects when the animals sit down, blink, poo, etc?

Johnny Morris was better. He actually found animals that talked.

I like him but his simpering voice makes me sleepy. I have yet to stay awake through one of his doco's.

Today an A-level biology student (who got an A at GCSE) asked me what a mamogram is. He had never heard of a mammary gland or the connection to mammals.

But the thing I found most disappointing is the pride he seemed to take in his ignorance in anything he doesn't need to pass exams, as if ignorance was cool.

Broke and a nation of thickos - the future is anything but bright.

Something that got me thinking. Our reduced manufacturing capability, or should I say, our dependancy on services means those skilled in services have no need to stay in the country. If the situation goes sour you take you're skills to another country, you're tools are portable. Manufacturing however hones the skills and keeps them in the country pulling it out of recession. Service based skills will just leave the country with ease.

The scale at which politicians have undermined the importance of manufacturing to an economy is so disheartening. When you building something symbolic at home it carries the pride of the nation, could we match this pride in any of our services?

Maybe the realise their education has been dumbed down so much, they would not be able to be an engineer.

Well I tell you, a while ago I walked into HMV for a lookie whilst my ears were in pain with the latest teen squealing noise, a similarly aged assistant walks up to me 'Can I help you?' I said no, followed by I don't think His Master's Voice would be pleased with this music, to which the reply was, His Master's Voice, I like that , where did you get that from?

She went completely when I explained.

Could be a lot worse IMO. He is educated, interesting, professional and comes across as a thoroughly nice guy.

She could've said Amy Winehouse.

Even worse if she said Jordan or whatever she's known as these days

But Amy Winehouse is educated, interesting, professional and comes across as a thoroughly nice person..... no wait, that is David Attenborough, my mistake.

Teens aim to be stars, not engineers

Young people are increasingly influenced by the media and popular culture when choosing careers, with girls naming pop stars Cheryl Cole and Rihanna among their top role models.
