Does history fascinate you as much as it does me?

I love social history and was fascinated by a recent series of Digging For Britain, hosted by Professor Alice Roberts. The new HS2 rail link is being built between London and Birmingham, and as part of the project, two new railway stations in each city are being built.

“Partly this has to do with the tendency for females to blame failure on a lack of ability. Males do just the opposite. They credit themselves for their accomplishments and point to outside reasons for failure—the teacher didn’t give us enough time to study, the test was too hard, the referee was unfair.”
