A nation of idiots?

I've oft pondered how some people manage to get through life. Over the years, certain individuals have had me wondering how on earth they manage day-to-day, being obviously unable to, for instance, tie their shoelaces, open a letter or buy two items from a store at the same time. Now it would seem that math-for-three-year-olds is beyond many residents of one of our major Northern cities - http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/1022757_cool_cash_card_confusion. Be sure to read the comments, some of them are wonderful.

Feeling somewhat under the weather today (no, it's not alcohol related) and not being especially productive so far, in stark contrast to yesterday when not only did I manage to put some long-standing work issues to bed (SQLyog is a great tool for admin & backup of mySQL databases), I also now have, courtesy of Woody, a functional stereo, repaired central locking and two whole reverse lights on my work car, not to mention some posh new carpet mats. Sometimes little victories count for a lot.
