I could have written this. My dad can do big sums in his head, which is really frustrating for a man I doubt has ever read a book and finished school at Primary level (sing it with me, it was the 60's....!). To this day, every time I have to whip out my phone-calculator I hear him saying, "Can you not do that in your head?!".

Ohhh yes - the phone-calculator judgement!!
"you need to know how to do this...you won't always have a calculator with you when you are older!" Jokes on you, dad!
