    I'm hoping that school teachers might do the same as part of their local history classes. When I was a pupil - way back in prehistoric times - I knew more about foreign countries than what was on my doorstep. I strongly believe that history is not just a thing of the past; it's still happening all around us and behind every building/artefact there is an interesting ancestry.
