@tobymagill it might be a local thing, but all we did was listen to boring teachers being boring …
I can’t remember a single thing we were supposed to learn.
Definitely no lessons about war (except that war is bad and we’ve never won anything either …) or anything interesting.
I think the murder of William of Orange barely got mentioned, which is pretty odd considering that it probably ranks as one of the first (public) murders of a leader of a country.

I’ve learned more through gaming and documentaries on Discovery &co than I ever learned at school.
I do wonder if the history lessons my nephews are getting are more ‘fun’.

@piers no offense intended kind sir.
