Question: what was your least favourite subject at school

Music for me, because I have no musical talent. Art was similar, though I was not bad at using clay and I could draw with a pencil fairly well.
I couldn’t paint though. I’ve no idea how people do it but hats off to them!
English I liked but struggled with as I could never tell when I had done a good job or not. At least with maths or science you usually know there is a right answer.

Perhaps unusually, for my A Levels, I took maths, further maths, physics……. and history. It was frowned on to combine the sciences and the arts but I pushed and was allowed to do history.

There were a lot of essays but I really enjoyed it as it was a nice break from numbers.
