Skiing twice this winter for me: once in Austria (London>Wörgl via Paris and Zürich) and once in France (London>Bourg St Maurice via Paris and Lyon). Sadly you’ve not been working one of my Eurostars yet!

I have a pair of occupational varifocals (with the distance element set for my computer monitor) and they are amazing!

I think I had some very keen teachers who felt like they had a duty in educating us. Also my recollection of the 92 election was it was so close, and I wonder if it being the first post Thatcher one drove interest too.

For me year 12 (lower sixth form) PHSE, which conveniently coincided with the 1992 general election. We also got taught about local (county and district council) elections.

I hear you. I snort with laughter when anyone tells me that Germany has a good rail system.

Does that mean Dutch high school admissions are as bonkers as English ones?
