Things you learnt at school you have never used - ever.


My Mrs is a maths teacher, for every maths subject she teaches she has a poster on the wall reflecting what job you would use that subject in.
We had a huge woodwork /metal work part of our school that went unused. Can't help but think that was a waste.
I'll add my knowledge of ox bow lakes and stalagmites has never really been used.
 
Hockey. I mean haway.

I could be playing for Man City if I had not been forced to waste time running about with a bent stick.

French, only had to use it twice in my life. Once to answer a French policeman "Yes it's cold" and once to translate "mal" into Danish for some Danish lasses. Mmmmm Danish.
