How far did you climb up the school and higher education ladder?
7th rung.
GCE Advanced Level?Originally Posted by jon1959
I’m still on it, you learn something in life every day
GCEs were after my time.
I did get an S Level once, and a fork-lift truck proficiency certificate!
Incidentally, have you just put Anglia East into your profile as your location, or has it been there a while? That would make at least two prolific posters on this board with similar far right arrogant personas coming from the same place.
Maybe revealing or just teasing? I'm asking for a friend.
AFTER your time? Shirley not!!!
Oh yeah. I misread that.AFTER your time? Shirley not!!!
9 O Levels, 3 A Levels, 1 S Level, a degree (2:1), a post-graduate diploma and a fork-lift truck cert!
I suppose 'far right' depends on wher you are standing.
I had a mate many years ago who was asked what eh thought of "this woman Thatcher." He said "She's a left wing bitch!"
The general as you might expect was obviously surprised and asked my mate where he stood politically. The reply was, "Six paces to the right of Attilla the Hun!"
now I have no idea what Attilla's personal politics were but it seemed to have the desired affect at the time!!!!
No, he put that there to feed the paranoia of the 7th rung intellectuals after I put East Anglia on mine.
Really? And paranoia too? What a strange world to inhabit.
2:2 in Law from at best a mid table championship university 😂

Thumbs up smiley;Since you can't spell Keele I'm going for the first three
I would say practical skills and experience are as important. When we were first married and totally skint I did my own plumbing, carpentry and had a go and bricklaying, wallpapering and some electrical stuff. Nowadays regs stop you doing some stuff.How far did you climb up the school and higher education ladder?
I'm now retired and spend time helping with grandkids and doing housework, shopping and voluntary work as a Parish Councillor.
Yes well educated but they didn't teach me how to make a kids picnic table out of scrap timber which is a lot more use than Quantum mechanics.
7 GCE O Levels (when they were still hard )
3 GCE A Levels (ditto)
And a desmond in Computeer science, in 1977

2:1 in law with German law, redbrick. And then a handful of professional qualifications that have no real relevance but cost a fortune to maintain.
Original Redbrick or extended definition Redbrick?
What is the extended definition? I think original for me, but didn't realise there was difference.
I think the 'extended' redbrick was when they called all the Technical colleges Universities so they could claim more people were obtaining degrees. to me redbrick is an established non - oxbridge university.
I think redbrick always means the traditional academic universities, I haven't heard of that term being used for the former technical colleges
Yes, the latter. And in my case literally made from red brick. I think the redbricks now like to call themselves "Russell Group".
