Bring on the nubiles

At this time of year I was always have a bet with myself that the Mail (and other culprits) will publish pictures of pretty young blondes getting their A Level results. A pint to Eric. In an unusual move, there is one group photo in the story with a couple of non-white students. Not that the Mail has any motive here.

The annual argument over standards carries on and maybe I'll add my two penneth one day (dead giveaway to your age there, Eric -Ed.)

Best comment on the Mail story goes to this honorary professor:

• I can't wait to see the spelling, grammar and punctuation of posters who say standards were higher in their day.
