Why is my handwriting so bad?

Tom Shakespeare reflects on the 'endangered skill of handwriting.''The most ambitious thing I author,' writes Tom, 'is the shopping list on my fridge. And several times a week I scrawl with my index finger when something is delivered'.His handwriting, he says, has gone to pot. He knows he's not alone. So he resolves to put that right and get more practice.Producer: Adele Armstrong Sound: Peter Bosher Production coordinator: Gemma Ashman Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith
