Ha! I got a B and 2Es instead of 2 Bs and an E; shouldn't have gone an got pissed before history paper two. In the 70s my CO in the Air Cadets (384 Sqn) told me that he was needed during the war but that his ilk were being squeezed out. It's been going on for a long time and I could see how unusual I was and how resentful people were in scruffy pseudo-professions like nursing and social work.
I wouldn't recommend higher education to anyone now, not for an arts degree, what with the dilution of standards and I got my degree from a CHE. I got a three-year holiday at the taxpayers' expense and strolled a 2:1; it's probably worth a 1st now.
