it is a totally bollocks statement
it is not at all easy to teach a child how to read. i should know, i try to do it every friday with one who is already capable of reading up to a 5 year old level!

I'm amazed that a "qualified solicitor" can only read up to a 5 year old level

you should see some of the people i have on the other side
you wouldn't be surprised at all, never mind amazed.

Also, Bartleby is clearly using what we like to call sarcasm.

it wasn't your statement i was saying was bollocks though - i was agreeing with you and your sarcasm
it is not easy to teach a child to read, mostly because most of the little fuckers don't want to learn!
