And we need to remember the average person in the UK has a reading age of 11.
So I have to confess, that wasn't something that I'd planned to say.
It was one of those stats that was sort of, you know, bumbling around at the back of my head and it sort of came out.
Yes, it was live and it basically came from the OECD report that I'd read a while ago.
That is something that they said that I interpreted it as anyway.
I'm no education expert, but to me what that would mean is that materials that would be too complex for a child of that age to read, people would struggle with.
So, for example, this PensionWise website contains a lot of financial jargon, a lot of sort of words in there that I think any school child would really struggle with.
And, you know, any sort of average adult would struggle with as well.
I mean, to be honest with you, I think I would struggle with the PensionWise website.
That's why that popped into my head.
I think that's what everyone wants, Tim.
Although I am the best reporter, bar none.
So this story is based on data from the Catholic Church showing that the number of new nuns in England and Wales has trebled in five years.
Three times not very much, Tim.
In 2009, 15 women entered training to become Catholic nuns.
That's known technically as formation.
Last year, 45 women did.
Yes.
The proportion of adult women deciding to enter training and learn to be a nun each year has soared from 0.0006% to almost 0.0002%.
Overall, the number of new nuns was higher in the 1980s than it is today.
