    But since schools seem to have trouble getting people to add up after 11 years I am not holding out any hope.


    :(

    Come on.

    I appreciate we are all adults here, but is there any need to swear, even with the help of ****

    Keep it down and you will get far more respect! All part of the "growing up" process perhaps ...

    If we did we might add up. Classic example last summer, a graduate in their last year out with a projected 1st.

    She looked on in amazement at how I worked out the floor areas in my head in a moment.

    Or a shopkeeper using a calculator to work out change...
    Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.
    Actively hunting down the person who invented the imaginary tenure, "share freehold";
    if you can show me one I will produce my daughter's unicorn

    Or how my A- Level tutee looks on in amazement when I do some of the maths/ physics arithmetic before she's typed it into the calculator. 500/1500 x 12? 4.
