Myself, my mums chap who's a bit of an engineer and my stepson were watching aircrash investigation last night while the coven talked in the kitchen.

The stepson is only 9 but loves watching discovery etc .


However the talked turned to smazing bits of engineering, and then to Concorde.

The boy child then uttered the sentence. "what's Concorde?"

I quickly educated him, but firstly I was amazed that a young boy didn't know this. Then how different kids are today, as he educated me about tech based stuff etc.

But what amazed me is how schools appear not to educate kids about what makes Britain great, or at least what great things we did in the past.
