Dont laugh but one of my main jobs as an NCO in the army was teaching recruits, and you would be amazed at just how many could not faster a tie, could not fasten shoe laces, could not use a steam iron and did not know how to wash clothes !!!. equally I was coming across plenty of the end result of Labours comprehensive school system who could barely read or write at 18 years old.

have come across plenty of people who cant read and write in adult life, a friends OH couldnt read or write cos she spent most of her teenage years not in school but in the long grass with her legs open! knew how to spend money though.....i wonder if the 2 things are connected??
