Invigilating turned out to be less strict for some of my exams as an adult. In one, the invigilator fell asleep for most of it. In another, he said 'I hope nobody is going to want anything, because I'm trying to revise.'

I'm with Tommy. Kids are always right.


It is so much stricter than the invigilating for university exams. I was sorry today for two Ukrainian boys who turned up with dictionaries, which they are allowed for some exams, but not this one.

Hope your cadet didn't find it too hard.

Triffids was writ in 1951. This one 1954. Is there a connection?

Well if you believe what the crtics said/say, it was all down to the communist fears that gripped the USA.

I hope we don't get 'Day of the Woke' in a few years' time.
