The Exam Results

The Exam Results

When I took my GCE “A” levels, a little over 50 years ago I got two B’s and a C. These were good marks. Only the top 1% of candidates got an A, and three or more A’s were very rare. Most Universities required C’s and D’s as entrance requirements with only a few went as high as Bs.

Today (10th August 2021) it was announced that around 45% of students got an A or A* grade.

We must have been really dim back then!

Anyway I wrote this little story about where we might be in 2045 if the grade inflation continues unchecked

The Pooper scooper

Life in a low tax economy

The governments of all colours in the UK seem intent on pursuing or claiming to pursue a low tax economy.So in an ultra low tax economy (as we may have in 2045) how would the central government and the ruling classes manage to maintain their income?
The idea for this little story came from a comment from Terry Wogan –
“the villagers only source of income was taking in each others washing!”
