Probably more recent than my 1950s primary school history, which IIRC, was 
more about dates and events rather than people, and my 1960s history 
education was more about politics than anything else. Social history might 
just as well have been a foreign language when I was taught. Let's just say 
it didn't relate to my experience of life, and thus failed to light my fire.
