Tests? What do you mean?
You had classes in that area? :eek:

We were tested on our machine skills by trying to sew straight, curvy, zig-zagged, angular and pictorial lines. Lol- that never happened for me! :p:

Yes, before GCSE when we had to choose one type of technology to do, we had a technology rota alternating between woodwork, IT, textiles and to start off in year 7, graphics and metalwork. Thank goodness metal work disappeared! I was a disaster at technology; I didn't like it, found it difficult and hardly ever finished a project. :redface:

I'm not a manual or hands-on person.

Meanwhile, I'm reading that site FiL linked to and some of the English expressions are so strange! Not only had I not heard them but I'm, quite frankly, embarrassed to ask about them and why they mean what they do!

Lol, some english expressions are weird.

Brilliant FiL...
It's much better to be constructive than destructive...

I hope to design and make some films at some point in my future :smile:

I don't know!
I was a sub but it ran out today and so when I was back to being a sub I didn't even realise it. Then suddenly it hit me that I hadn't payed for it (I hadn't the first time either, John did because he's lovely!) but now I've no idea who it was!
