They did that by changing the polys into unis

Yep, the bastards. I was at Leicester Poly, which as polys went was starting to get a good reputation with employers; then some dipstick decided it should be called 'De Montfort University', which sounds like some vague American diploma mill.

Is that a 1980s E- or a 2010 E-?

Come on, he can spell statistics; it must be at least a B*.

The only way to achieve an E- in statistics these days would be to have sasguru sit your paper. Just turning up gets you a B.

I always remember what my chemistry teacher used to say - that A Levels are the hardest exams you would ever take and that once you got to uni, they would be much easier.

I heard that. I got 3 A's, a C (in Chemistry) and an E for General Studies at A-level. At university I managed a third.

A-levels were a doddle. University actually tested me, it was far harder to get top grades without turning up to lectures.

I got an 'A' for general studies; I seem to remember writing an essay discussing the benefits and risks of hedonism.
