I took GCE O and A Levels too, at a local Comprehensive school not a posh Grammar School, 8 Grade C and above O levels and 3 A Levels including an A in Law - fat lot of good any of that did me in my chosen career, no one's ever asked me what qualifications I got at school. Common sense is far more important than grades on a piece of paper or a degree in underwater tapestry designing or whatever other daft subjects they have degrees in these days
