Dumbing Down?

The following two questions appeared in the recent "Leisure and Tourism" GCSE examination paper"

(1) Other than Indian food, name one other type of food often provided by take-away restaurants. (One mark out of a possible 91)

(2) Describe what customers need to do to receive a delivery service from an India take-away restaurant. (Thee marks)

I am not surprised to read in another article that 55% of people living in Southern England think that lasagne is an English dish, rather than Italian.

Also, in a survey two out of five people did not know that the Cornish pasty came from the South-West, with one in 10 not realising it originated in Cornwall!
