Not only do you have to pay to gain your qualifications, but your examination answers had better be word perfect, as they will probably be sent to India for marking.

Yes that's right! One examination board has decided in their infinite wisdom to send papers to India for marking.

We all know what happens when you try and have a conversation with someone in India. If it's not on the script, they can't help.

I find it highly unlikely that a person who does not have English as a first language would understand the nuances and other meanings to words that people use, and this also displays a total lack of regard by the examination board to the students who have worked their backsides off all those years, to fail an exam because they didn't word it in a way that someone several thousand miles away does not understand.

Maybe this should be on another thread, but it fits in quite neatly here

I think voting on looks alone is a bit silly, and to me would illustrate a total lack of understanding of politics

but sadly Vorlon some people do! Robin Cook and William Hague have no chance simply because of looks and speech:(

It looks like Maggie might win this one yet :D
