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


I've never had much call to use my half decent rugby skills. Never played it before secondary school, never played it after year 9. Was one of the best in my year group. Shite game.
Same as badminton. Another sport I was good at but think is shite. Never played it since PE in the 90s.
 
Cross stitch.

Thing is, you remember doing that. And if it ever came up where you did need to do it, you'd know it
I've never had to do cross stitch, but I've done other sewing since school and its based on stuff i learned nearly 30 year ago. Replacing buttons or even using a sewing machine to help one of the bairns make a cushion
 
I’ve never been asked to climb a 30ft rope unfortunately because was surprisingly good at it.
Couldn’t do it now like.
Had to do it as part of the fitness test to pass out in the Navy.
Get to the top, and "make fast", which basically means holding your weight by your feet, and letting go of the rope with your hands and hold that position, until they tell you you can use your hands again.
Scary.

I'd be bricking it just holding with the feet.
After passing out did you ever need to use it again in a "live" situation?
