I wouldn't be much use in your doomsday scenario, Felix. I assume that your answers are all yes. I'm studying electrical engineering, which may not be much use if all the power goes off, but the skills I’m learning are one hell of a lot more useful to today's *real life* society, and will make me a lot of money to boot

I'm perfectly happy not to know the intricacies of rubbing two boy scouts together to get fire...

Actually, we used to have an open fire in our old house, and I did get quite good at building and lighting a fire. It got a bit draughty though, the secret was to strike three matches at once if you diddn't want them to go out.
