I can understand them not wanting Fletching because Archery is also on the list.
I suspect they won't be too keen on Felching, either.
Oddly enough you can fire a gun without having had to make the bullets yourself, and it's the same with bows and arrows.
All the Russell Group absolutely INSIST on good grades in Felching, though.
You missed our pederasty. Penny. Oh, sorry, that's part of the politics curriculum.
You left out blogging aka journalism
Can't believe they included Wudwerk (our teacher was a Lancastrian) Mr.P. That's a craft, that is, and I speak as someone who is lost in admiration at the sight of any master in such things - stonemasons, welders, seamstresses, chefs, gardeners - we need them all and should respect their talents. That said, I can't believe you can get an 'A' level in Skateboarding. For Fucksake. Well... yes I can actually.
Woodwork & Shoe Repairing could prove useful when the world wide economic collapse happens.
Perzackerly md - you make my point better than I.
Even as the world darkens and refugees wander listlessly hither and yon you may be sure of one thing: your shoes STILL won't be ready until Thursday...
Caratacus & Microdave ..
What with Woodworking, Shoe repairing & a Lancastrian teacher ..
I think I detect a common thread developing here ..
Clogs ... ;) :) :)
There'll still be a need for haircutting as well, but I figured if I mentioned that earlier, you would accuse me of batting for the other side....
