Don't start...I'm not in the mood! Shouldn't you be re-decorating your new flat, or testing wall sockets by sticking your fingers in them, or something?Sput wrote:No shit, Sherlock.
Why have they started calling high schools colleges?

Most of the schools round here are either high schools or colleges. My old school is now an arts college. No surprise there really the school has always been renowned for its drama and arts. Even in my day. The grammar schools are still very much geared towards getting their students to university.
I wouldn't mind going back there to have a look round. I've never stepped foot in that school since i left. I do see my old careers teacher from time to time. She told me not to take up hairdressing as there is no future innit. Long hours poor wages etc etc. I reminded her of what she said when she delivered the parish magazine to my salon. I didn't gloat though, because she appeared genuinely pleased that i proved her wrong. It makes feel awful now for the horrid things i called her in school.

You can't be that old if you sat GCSEs. Some of us have bona fide O levels.

Not suggesting for one minute that scroogey could be in the over 40 bracket.

If I'd have come along much earlier, I'd have had to matriculate!
