Good luck to the kid. You shouldn't need to justify or defend yourself in this thread. It's why it was created. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted August 13, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2020 That hi hi telephone system advert with the baldie who phones through to speak to Jane and the call is answered by a woman who tells him we are working from home today for no apparent reason and then says I’ll put you straight through. In addition this woman has a young daughter sitting on the settee near her To demonstrate that she is at home but the kid is just silent reading a book, how often does that happen. In addition she’s not doing her job as gatekeeper because the MD does not want random calls putting through to him or her without them being fielded first 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch a lot of TV anyway, but obviously watching more recently and it just seemed to be like the same half a dozen adverts on a loop. Most absolutely vomit-inducing!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply..... but on reflection @NurembergVillan is right. I know nothing about the kid or his circumstances. Appreciate your comment though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) The discussing of exam results at length. "My little jimmy has been robbed of his future, we expected A's and he got 4 A's and a C. The whole family will now kill itself. He can still go to the university of his choice but still, his life is ruined" So no one did better out of it than they thought ? There will be no jobs for leavers and the Covid will take 5-10 years to sort in the economy so they are **** no matter what. Get it off the news as well FFS, words removed. Envelope opening with teenagers, what a load of old sh1t as a spectator sport. Edited August 14, 2020 by Amsterdam_Neil_D 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted August 14, 2020 Moderator Share Posted August 14, 2020 Got stiffed by the Government A-levels algorithm? Fear not! In exchange for just several hundred pounds you can sit an ACTUAL exam! It's a small price to pay to secure your future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I hadn't noticed that people are discussing it in here as well, but I recommend checking out the Tory party thread for some discussion of how the algorithm has actually worked (not trying to be rude, but some of the thoughts expressed in here have not exactly been made with much of an understanding of the situation IMO). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Gavin Williamson congratulating Eton on their best ever A Level results. Edited August 14, 2020 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
