Informers
Numeracy was something I avoided like the plague at school. As soon as I was old enough to own a calculator I owned three. I kept one at all places where numeracy might possibly rear its ugly head. Just to be sure, at school I would tape my calculator to the underside of my desk. That way I would always be prepared for those tricky sums.
But one day it wasn’t there. Someone had stolen it! So there I was, expected to do complex sums using a pencil and paper! It was a day I will never forget. My punishment for failing: to eat semolina, my most hated of school dinner things.
Thankfully it isn’t just me who owned an inordinate amount of calculators at a stupendously young age. To see what I mean click the link.
As far as the budget goes (the featured subject in the aforementioned link), like most people, I don’t really have a flipping clue. I know what it’s supposed to be, but I couldn’t possibly speculate on what money was spent where. Am I alone? It doesn’t seem so. Walk down the street and you’ll probably hear others mumbling about the budget and how confusing it is–or maybe that’s just my street–
Thank goodness for people like Enigin is all I’m saying. Unlike most companies who seek to only confuse us, they are a gang who like to inform us. And they don’t even mind admitting they are sometimes as confused as we are, which makes a nice change!
