Same 'ere.
I missed the original exam cus i was ill for weeks, but I musn't talk about that ey...being 'prickly' like?

Failed all me GCE's, bar Art too!
Got thrown out of French cus I only got 1% in an exam, and that 1% was given to me in sympathy for spelling me name right apparently.

Yes, I'm as thick as pig shit and proud of it!

Still got me own 'ouse, fleet of cars and business though.

1% in an exam is some sort of achievement. Did they give you a sustificate, like?

Results have just arrived and been discussed.

Disappointed would sum up my reaction.

She however is full of bulls-hit as always.

Still only AS levels ~ another year, maybe two, to correct matters but I bet she won't take the opportunity. Always too ready to settle for second rate performance because it is the easier option.

A shame, but sometimes it can work out for the best if they realise in time and pull their finger out.

Daughter #1 was a disaster at school but saw the light at 19 and did a catch-up by evening classes and went on to University and got an Honours degree in Psychology.

That is how I know I am sane.
