TV companies must put adverts in the papers, requesting only thick people to take part in programs. On the Lotto program a few weeks ago, one young chap was asked "Where is the Algarve ?" His three choices were :: Portugal, Spain and Ireland. He got all excited and said that he had been there on holiday recently and gave the answer as Spain ! If I was as thick as these...

Why the assumption that such knowledge is what we learn in school, hence blaming the National Curriculum? I can't remember ever learning much of my general knowledge in school. In school, I learned to read and from that, and keeping my ears and eyes open, I have an almost inexhaustable supply of trivial facts.

Yes, quiz shows test recall as much as knowledge. Some people just seem not to be able to recall what they know, at least not easily and quickly, or not when under pressure.

Examples including muddling two people up with similar names, or just pressure making you doubt yourself...
