TBH (and to p*ss you all off) I passed mine ~ but my father would not allow me to go to the Grammar School because "We can't afford all that extras that go with such schools" so I ended up in an upgraded Secondary (they called it a Tertiary) School on what was known as "The Grammar Course". "Left" of my own accord at fourteen and a half by simply walking out of the gate every morning after registration but was hauled back after six months when they found out that I was bunking off and working in a supermarket. Took my 'O' levels anyway and surpirsed the school by passing them and then walked out again ~ this time to join the RAF as an apprentice (the only way to take A levels was to go onto the Grammar Sixth Form and again Father said "No"). Joining the RAF did enable me to take my A levels though.
