Flicking through the History/Discovery channels recently, I've noticed that there is hardly a single programme about the history of the United Kingdom. All I could find was programmes about American Presidents and politics, the Space Race, travelling in Asia and America's involvement in World War 2. And then I realised that I hardly knew anything about this country and don't ever remember getting taught much about it in school. Do they teach anything along these lines now? No wonder this country is slowly becoming "America 2".

I've learned about the civil war, 20th century Britain and the Victorians/Tudors at primary school.

I've studied Hitler enough thank you very much.

It seems that very few people of my age even realise what Britain has done over the past 500 years. I only know about it through reading, which is deemed boring and unimaginable by most idiotic mongs in my generation.
