Perhaps Tesco could also offer a degree course in English, with segments covering the use of the apostrophe, capital letters and the difference between 'there', 'their' and 'they're'. I have seen signs in Tesco stores (yes, and in the comments on this website) with mistakes in all these aspects.

The worst cases of bad English that I have seen are, of course, on the Labour Party's own website! Make's you fink, dunnit?

Terrifying isn't it? Why is this government so determined to undermine education? Could it be jealousy that drives them?

Really?! When I go to Tesco, I have to repack if the person at the till starts to pack, as they have no common sense. Packing smelly's with food, frozen with bread and packets, milk on top of vegetables and fruits to squash, I could go on....I make them wait until I have finished packing as they could have at least taken out the bags ready for me or learn how to pack properly. I watch them scan through very fast thinking they are clever, duh!

It has just been announced (on BBC Ceefax) that one of the newer universities will be offering a degree in 'bed selling'. I understand, from my own sources, that only those with at least two A's at A-level will be encouraged to apply.

An 'Arts' degree? I'm sure all those people with degrees in surfing studies will appreciate further debasing of the degree system.....

Show me the substance and I'll show less reserved feelings. I agree with training people for their jobs but unless you have a substancial amount of theory and fact discovery through reading and working on theories, a degree can't be a awarded in any seriousness.

Alistair Kipling, Birmingham,

well this will certainly devalue my degree.

The days at university will be useful. A university library is the idea place to indulge in some simulated shelf stacking. The students might even get to carry returned books to the shelves; and thereby gain a qualification in distribution.

Des, Edinburgh,

I'm in the wrong job.
