Maths - It doesn't add up

Yesterday's big story was the snow but the Conservative party were busy launching a fatuous taskforce to look into the teaching of maths in Britain. The team is to be led by non other than Carol Vorderman, Countdown's former maths spiff.

The idea that a famous person who is good at maths is the best person to advise the Department of Education on how its teachers are to deliver lessons is ludicrous.

I propose further education advisors:

• Tony 'Baldrick' Robinson - History
• Michael Palin - Geography
• Wolf from Gladiators - P.E
• Richard and Judy - English Literature
• Ainsley Harriot - Home Economics
• Bill Oddie - Biology
• Jeremy Kyle - Sociology
• oh I give up....
