Fi was here as well she had German this afternoon (I didn’t get put in for the G.C.E I just did the C.S.E. For those too young or not of the UK - G.C.E. was the best exam to take at 16 years and C.S.E was if you were not good enough to do the G.C.E. although if you got a grade 1 it was equivalent to a pass at G.C.E. I was entered for both in Maths)
