7.A survey into basic skills amongst 13 to 19-year-olds found one in four can't even boil an egg.And one in twenty had tried to"boil"an egg by microwaving it only to see it explode.And more than one in ten of the iPhone generation had popped one in the kettle while a quarter confessed they were clueless about how long it took to boil an egg.A fifth of this age group thought it would be ready in two minutes when it takes seven to eight minutes.
Domestic and DIY nous (生活和 DIY 常识)was also missing when it came to everyday chores with a quarter baffled over how to use the washing machine.Seven in ten were unable to wire a plug and eight in ten said they would call out a plumber to fix a dripping tap as they did not know where to start.A third were baffled over how to change a light bulb or hang a picture on a wall.
According to the Poundland study,half of the women in this age group relied on their dads to fill up their car windscreen washer while a third of the men looked to mums to iron their shirts.Yet most were able to set up a wireless Blu-ray player or Wi-Fi router.
Simon Twigger,trading director at Poundland,said,"It's quite surprising to see the shift in what young Brits see as key life skills to learn."
"Although millennials (千禧一代)may be social media and smart phone savvy,the majority do not have the skills that the older generations took for granted.""Fingers crossed they learn a few of them by the time they move out to avoid paying unnecessary handyman costs."
