A good subject this one, thanks for bringing it online Matt.
A bit like Colin really, had no interest and nothing to stimulate me, so at the age of 15yrs I left and joined the army.
Carried on with education but at the same time I did a lot of things that interested me. The amount I learnt in two years far out weighed my whole school education and enjoyed nearly every minute of it.
Funny how things work out innit. 53yrs old and I'm back at school again.
