When I was a kid I hated seeing the Back to School stuff appear in shop windows in August, in the middle of the summer holidays but, as an adult, I rather look forward to seeing the prospectuses of autumn evening classes. I guess the difference is I have the choice of what to learn and can pick things that interest me rather being forced to do subjects I hated and had zero ability in. For Londoners,...
