Films, or at least any film made after about 1994 that isn’t aimed at the under 10s.
I’ve been to the cinema once in about a decade, that was to see the My Little Pony Movie last year.
It’s not in a Michael Owen “I saw a film once, they’re not for me” way, more that if I find myself with a couple of hours I can think of things I’d rather do. On the odd occasion I’d like to watch a film I’ll spend ages scrolling through Sky Cinema and having no idea what I’m looking at.
The kids watch loads of them, so I’m well up on Pixar and the rest having seen most kids films more times than it’s possible to count (doubt that anyone has seen the Jonathon Frakes directed Thunderbirds film with Bill Paxton and Ben Kingsley more than I have) but for anything above a 12 certificate, nothing.

That said, I can successfully rewire a lamp. Make of that what you will.
But to be fair, I don't think the vast majority of the population understand electricity.
I'm quite good at electrics though. And I also know nothing about cars.Last edited by Stumpy Pepys; 26-07-2018, 09:19.

My car knowledge came virtue of having just enough money to buy a crap car, having no job, so needing to fix it myself whenever it went wrong.
Having no job meant I could spend days fiddling, deconstructing, reassembling.
I bet the queen knows naff all about cars.
You car ignoramuses can consider your lack of knowledge a sign of success, or at the very least a sign of successfully living within your means.
