Under that heading was a photo of the fugitive with the caption, “Bryce Studd-Proctor was wanted by Police”. “Was”? – Presumably, contrary to the heading he was no longer wanted. This practise is not uncommon with dopey young girls. Consider this. A few weeks ago I arranged to visit a senior medical specialist mate with a large practice and consequently, four receptionists. I bowled in and said I had an appointment with him, not then noting that expecting me, he’d emerged from his end office and was standing in his doorway laughing at the following exchange. ME: “I have an appointment with X”. Dopey Girl: “What was your name?” ME (with blank face): “I haven’t changed it”. Dopey Girl (looking puzzled): “What was it?” ME: “Still the same”. By now her colleagues were giggling at her, so bewildered, she moved to her next verbal nonsense. Dopey Girl: “Take a seat”. ME (still with blank expression): “Where shall I take it to?” More bewilderment. My mate then bowled over to collect me but not before I said to the girl, “I’ll give you a million dollars if you can tell me where Belgium is”. We then duly repaired to my friend’s office where he opened a bottle of red and introduced me to a new specialist colleague. Half an hour later when we emerged the dopey girl shouted, “Belgium’s in Europe”, her colleagues having told her this. ME: “That’s not telling me where it is. There’s about fifty countries in Europe. Give me a sheet of paper and I’ll draw a map of Europe and the million is yours if you can even roughly point to where it is”. She declined this offer. The pervading ignorance today is mind-boggling. The state school education I received in the 1940s and 1950s was outstanding. At twelve years of age in my last primary school year, I have no doubt the majority of my forty or so class-mates could have pointed to Belgium on a map. And most certainly, they did not talk in the past tense. --- **BUY Your Own Copy of Sir Bob’s Latest Book Today.** ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/31/f4/31f4e20a-0315-499e-83ff-139e8eab53bf/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/screen-shot-2020-11-24-at-9.22.52-pm.png) [If you enjoyed this article please share it using the share buttons at the top or bottom of the article.](#) [If you would like to access exclusive Member content or just remove the ads to make your reading experience more enjoyable click here to browse our Membership options.](https://thebfd.co.nz/subscription-plans/?ref=2)
