if anyone in UK wears a school uniform, this means that everyone knows how to make tie knot?

I have got no idea how to tie a necktie, not even my neighbour, no one. so if kids and teenagers in England keep wearing school uniforms and a tie, they know how to make a tie knot? cause as kids we were always playing adults but no one ever knew how to make a tie knot, so we did some regular knot.

Good question! I suppose it's possible that they simply wear clip-on neckties (which require no tying whatsoever). However, tying a necktie really isn't any more difficult than tying shoelaces, which we learn at a very young age... it's just that, for those of us that grew up in non-uniformed schools, there was no reason for us to learn how to tie a necktie at that same age. I didn't learn how to tie a necktie until sometime in middle school, when we all had to wear nice outfits for a fancy school ceremony. I can remember all of us boys standing in the hallway behind the auditorium struggling in unison with our ties... But now that I know how, I really do enjoy wearing (and tying!) ties. Some people really don't--it's a matter of personal taste, of course--but if you're interested in learning, click on the link below. It does take a bit of trial and error to get right (especially figuring out exactly how much longer around your neck the wide end needs to be hanging than the narrow end; the very first step!), but you'll get the hang of it in no time. Good luck!
