Re: School axes class History lesson

I hated history at school thought it was the most boring lesson out 20 + years ago, I love it now because I've got an interest in it through the hobby, perhaps if it was made more interesting more kids might have wanted to do it.

That is very sad and they wonder why kids today leave school not very bright, soon they will be doing lessons in computer games and how to relax to enjoy them.

Reminds me of a building I had dealings with a few years back - the owner wanted to reduce the thickness of the end wall (which was about five feet thick and had several phases of fireplace, from an inglenook to a 1950's small one) and we discovered a spiral staircase in the thickness of the wall i...
