With you on that one Philip.

People often say something like "I went from Tilbury to North Pole jn" and I have to go away and look it up. I can't remember/work out how to do it, and then I kick myself when I see it.

It's funny, when I was younger I loathed History & Geography, and now I can't get enough. Just life's long journey I guess.
