(Lighthearted! )
DS12 goes to school in Italy and this year in geography they have studied rivers in Europe - including rivers and tributaries in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland (north and south of the border before anyone asks!) He was amazed at my lack of knowledge of European rivers and am now trying to fill in some gaps. Just wondered if the Uk curriculum is similar as I can't remember studying them. I am pretty good on cities, countries and mountains but rivers seem to have passed me by...

No. Sorry I've got nothing.

The Tiber runs through Rome and the Po runs through Turin (i think).
That is all I know.

The Rubicon? As in ' crossing the Rubicon' which is effectively an act of war. But I know about that from history lessons not geography!

Um, literally nothing.

They have rivers in Italy. Fact. I've seen some.

I know the Arno flows through Florence from my teenage love of A Room With A View. That's all I know of Italy.

but we did do The Rhone and The Rhine in GCSE Geography 1991.

The Tiber, the Arno, the Po. That's it.

The Tiber runs through Rome. Er... that's it!

The Po....

Ha, ha, not just me then. Actually I think I did better on rivers in Italy than rivers in Scotland. Blush

The Po and the Arno
THe Po because of the funny name, the Arno because I went to Florence. Never studied it at school or my Geography degree
Mind you I don't actually remember doing any real rivers apart from industry in the Ruhr Valley.

Nope. I've got nothing
