[Old Greg]

not sure if all the matriculation boards did 16+
It was 1986

It was a trial. They were piss easy.
You did papers 1 & 2 to get a CSE grade, and paper 3 for an O' level grade

AO on the other hand was hard as nails. I did maths in that and learned LOADS

Ah yes. I do remember in 1987 a combined O level / CSE exam.

You are the same age as me. I don't remember 16+ in England. I did some O levels early and then GCSEs at 16 and an AO.

and it's far easier to get a GCSE than an O'level. I was at the turnaround so did a mix of Os and 16+. 16+ being the predecessor for GCSEs.

They changed it from 16+ as they were considered too hard as thickies couldn't scrape an O level on the multiple guess papers.

In case anyone is an ignorant cretin, the GCSE replaced the separate O level and CSE qualifications. Typically, the reason people did GCSEs rather than O levels is because they are younger.

History is for those that are not forward thinking as history students are always looking back.

Whew! Good thing I studied history*






*It was GCSE-level history and all I can remember was spending 3 months reading about 1920's China and Sun Yat-sen, does that count?

Judging by what you have said - not a lot I would imagine?

And not even a mention of 'Project Fear' when you hear something you don't like, you must have been on the special Dutch stuff last night PM

[original PM]

As the government have said that any Brexit will make the UK poorer then I am still betting that the people who loose their jobs and the cascading marriage breakups, seeing kids at weekends ,loss of homes etc. will still outweigh the comfort of knowing that Turks wont be invading the UK and that they are not paying for a European army, but hey I am just a remoaner what would I know.

Surely a double negative there "do not realize that no-one has any clue what will happen".

But I can't argue on your conclusion that you're a cretin

As you were.
