What do you/did you find hardest about learning to drive?
Manouveres? which ones? ..stalling? etc.

clutch control, and knowing when to go at roundabouts... I actually found manouveres surprisingly easy, but my instructor said I pick them up much quicker than most people

knowing when to go at roundabouts...
yes!! I have a big problem with hesitation, but then when I try and get going a bit faster I do things wrong...
Going at slow speeds (i.e. clutch control) when parking or doing a 3-point turn.

Same, I was terrible with hesitation for ages but eventually it sinks in
I started learning in January and I'm due to take my test soon (failed first one on what was supposedly my strongest point - manoeuvres!), and I have to say it's only in the past couple of months that I've been good with my decision-making at roundabouts. They used to terrify me. I think the general trend is that people who are good at taking things slow, thinking things through carefully tend to excel with manoeuvres but obviously aren't as good at roundabouts, and those who are good and confident enough to make quick decisions tend to be a bit sloppy with manoeuvres. But then you get irritating people like my older brother who manage to do everything 100% perfect and pass first time within a couple of months of lessons...it's frustrating but I suppose it gives you something to aspire to
Reversing around a corner had me in tears every time. Luckily I didn't have to do it on my test and I passed first time 
Probably parallel parking, I kept parking like 1 metre away from the curb.
If you find it difficult to do parallel parking you should not be on the roads, you are endangering other road users

I like this way of thinking - all my manoeuvres are quite good!
I was stuck at a junction for ages in my last lesson, it was so embarrassing because I just kept missing every chance to go.
Oh well, must be plodding along for my test in december!
Large roundabouts - (ones with 3/4/5 lanes and around 5 exits) As most of the large roundabouts in the test routes road markings have faded, along with them always being busy and having lots of traffic therefore you have to already know which lane you should be in as you won't be able to see the road markings anyway!
Well then you obviously are not very good as you park 1 metre away from the curve
I found parallel parking quite difficult tbh. Oh and "50 pence piece" bends you had to reverse into. The ones with two corners.

Not crashing into lampposts and small children.
If you find it difficult to avoid hitting children you should defently not be allowed on the road, what a mistake allowing you to pass

Identifying sarcasm not a strong point, then?

Curve??
Don't you mean kerb? And the poster said that the 'kept' doing it, they may not do it anymore 
the only thing which was slightly hard was roundabouts other than that it was all easy

get off the road, your a danger, get a life dont lose somebody elses.
WTF are you doing on the road.
WTF are you doing on the road.
I have to admit the children are difficult to avoid hitting, I havnt hit a lamp post in a while though so it's all good.
