I had that in uni for all of a year - crap landlord + single-glazed windows = no central heating and frosty windows indoors. It's about the only time I've truly felt cold during the night.Waking up to frost on the inside of the window, single glazed house without central heating
Phew! I'd like to think I can tick 9 of 10 of those boxes. History and geography are not my strong-suit, granted, but I have some grasp of them. As for shining shoes, that's a work-in-progress and wasn't a necessity for me growing up but is now something I want to do. In the same light, I have been told on countless occasion that I dress better than most where I work, including management. I digress, I'd also say a grasp of politics could be one of those checkpoints.Where to start?
- How to write (script) legibly
- Mental arithmetic
- History
- Geograhy
- How to carry on an oral conversation face-to-face
- The difference between an adverb and an adjective
- How to shine shoes
- How to iron an item of clothing
- How to sew on a button
- When to take off a hat/cap
Just for starters.

As for taking off hats/caps, same goes for doffing. I often gesture tipping my cap to hearses and funeral cars passing me on the road. I reckon, however, that 90% of my friends don't know why I faux-doff, less the word 'doff'.
You can blame my generation (punks) for that one.Wearing jeans that aren't ripped
