Thanks Gals & Guys for the likes & +ve reps. It makes up for her reminding me (repeatedly) she now has more Gcse level qualifications. admittedly mine were 'O' Levels but she has a point.
I have reminded that I expect an exceptional care home when she is paying.

Interestingly that's exactly the % who are net receivers from the state.
I blame the 80s policy of prioritising a flat for single mums. They bred and their children bred and so on.

LM Jr got his grades (mostly A-C, he hates Spanish so we don't mention it) and is on the college course that he wants. Happy enough days but he's a bit disappointed.

Miss V turned in 10 A*->C results. She is off to do the A levels she wants. #ProudDad
Must get her brains from Mrs V after all she was intelligent enough to marry me!
The ones where she got less than expected were where her controlled assessments had been centrally moderated last year. A whole load of papers were randomly re-marked by the exam board and dropped 1-2 grades with little explanation. I suspect the drop in results is down to tougher marking centrally than ability.

Educated Bremainers may not be stupid, but arguably time will confirm that they were foolish and in retrospect the Brexiters were the opposite

6/7, but vexingly I slipped up on the first question.
The French one was piss-easy. One could guess the gist of the following, enough to deduce the quesstion answer, solely by the similarity of the words without ever having learned a word of French:
"Pour réduire le nombre d’accidents dans le centre-ville, le conseil municipal propose d’agrandir la zone piétonne."

Maybe they could split them into 2 tiers? Give the better ones something like a GCE and the others, I dunno, maybe CSE.
