A new survey says kids these days don't know the basic tasks we all learned as we were growing up. Only one in five of youngsters said they could tie a reef knot.

I never learned to tie one, to be honest. And I can say this, I have got through life without the need.

Maybe I'm just lucky. In earlier generations if you couldn't tie a good knot you couldn't just use a bit of glue or Blue tack, depending on how long you wanted it to last.

And thanks to No More Nails, I really don't need to be able to use nails either.
