The important things in life

[ciphergoth]

A BBC 1 News crew is turning up here in just over an hour to interview my Mum about this story:

Today, Education secretary Charles Clarke is hoping to start a national debate on the nation's essential skills, as he launches a competition to find the top five life skills that all young people should be able to master by the age of 16.

What would you say in interview?

Update: Didn't appear in 6pm BBC1 news. Maybe it'll turn up later or on BBC News 24, or maybe as djm4 suggests it's an attack of the clones...

Understanding how to cope with people to get things organised/fixed covers a few things mentioned, like the booking holidays thing for once - and getting things fixed! I don't have this bloody skill myself, as our washing machine which has been broken for MONTHS could confirm.

The prize is rubbish though. I'd prefer a House of Commons chequebook and pen.

But don't listen to me. I can barely change a lightbulb.
