There's an article on the Register about the new scratchcard from Camelot being withdrawn because people don't understand that -6 is higher than -8

Bloody hell! I imagine it would be a scandal if most of our population weren't so dumb :/

That's it, I'm going to lock myself in a dark cupboard for a while and pretend it's not real until it goes away. XP

I actually heard a woman arguing with a shop keeper about this at lunch time... stupidity really knows no bounds...

It gets worse. About 20% of all adults in the UK are "functionally illiterate" - meaning that although they may have some ability to read/write, it is too low to be of practical use in day-to-day life.

I really despair sometimes of people.

Pn a lighter note, when you next gracing our fair city with your presence? It's been far too long since we got pissed together ;->

Far far too long! I'm desperately hoping to get the funds together for a trip around my birthday (December), but I need to see how money goes first. I will come back and visit one day, I promise!!
