We are kindred spirits. But could I add pedantry to the list?

To be pedantic that would make it a quadrivium.

But to be pedantic a quadrivium is geometry, arithmetic, astronomy, and music.

We are kindred pedants

Maybe the UK curriculum should adopt sets of quadriviums. Maybe 4 quadriviums, then it would be the Curriculum Quad quadrivium:

Basic survival level:
Running, breaking and entering, sales, filling out DWP forms

Technical level:
How to spot wood, how to spot plaster, how to spot piping, how to hold the roof on whilst you drive.

Middle acheivers:
How to sound posh, how to act posh, how to decorate your house and read the Dailly Mail

Higher Achieivers:
Build your own Hedron Colider/Rocket Ship/Road going car with F1 performance, tax evasion.
