Ah - gifted teachers. I was lucky in that I had good English and French
teachers early on but absolutely terrible maths teachers. To this day I
can't do or understand Sudoku - it's another language to me and not one to
which I have the key. But because I had good *early* arithmetic teachers,
I
can add up at the speed of light!

Funny, but I hate crosswords especially those that don't give proper clues
whereas I love Sudoku, it's so logical. But then I was a slow starter at
reading, not interested as a kid, and only got interested when the Maths
teacher said "read the next chapter and do the questions at the end" ....
panic! :-)

Just shows how early experiences influence us, I suppose. I do wish I'd
ever got a grasp of maths but one of my teachers was so wicked and so cruel
that I truly believe it frightened me off the subject for ever.
