Did they call English lessons English in Wales? Just thought of that.
I can't remember that far back. I suspect they did but I never went to school that much!

Someone wrote a book about grammar a few years ago with a great title:

Eats shoots and leaves.
OR WAS IT:
Eats, shoots and leaves
OR WAS IT:
Eats shoots, and leaves

3 different meanings using one comma.

Not in my case, i was determined to prove that your origins were no barrier to success...

Went on to need English as part of professional qualification, passed it on 3rd attempt after paying for private tutor...

After full qualification at degree level, I had a very successful career, taking me many times to WDW.

There's a ruder version of that too which I can't remember right now. If I don't think about it it will drop into my brain later. It's probably not suitable for a family forum anyway!

I have 2 qualifications to my name.

City and Guilds Basic Craft and also Advanced craft.

I'm not even sure they do these any more. That was a 4 year apprenticeship starting in 1970.

I cant use punctuation properly but I could do any Carpentry task thrown at me. Education is a wonderful thing but there used to be ways around it. Not so much now.

This thread has me pondering what you've just said. Does where you start in life determine your life path?

Good for you on all your hard work and achievements 😊 you must be proud of yourself.

It's probably this time of year where I naturally reflect. I was just thinking the other day I don't give myself enough credit.
