addicted Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Mollie's off to Bali on Sunday for a well earned holiday. This was a 21st present from mum and dad. We're just waiting for no.2 granddaughter to get her A level results now and we can all relax. Carole 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a spare PhD from Bradford tucked away, pronounced 'Fffffd!' according to Victor Borge. I have to admit I have great admiration for the graduates of today like Mollie. Things would have been very different for my generation if we left university saddled with, in some cases, the crippling amounts of debt the current generation face. I wish Mollie all the very best in her future career. She's worked hard and deserves a holiday! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malanka Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The nice part is that the older one gets everything counts and the education part just keeps happening just not in institutions. University of life is the best there is. M 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExSurveyor Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Everyone could get the old CSE just for turning up and spelling your name correctly . I did get an O level as well but I don't like to boast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
