[Albion] Brighton fans most GSCEs in Premier League

[Bakero]

I don’t have any, just GCEs

Didn’t O levels and A level used to both be called GCEs? It was a long time ago!

I never had to produce the certificates, employers just took my word, is it still like that?

In my experience, employers want evidence of your highest level qualifications. Nobody cares about my GCSE grade B in Resistant Materials.

And that other study showed Brighton fans had the highest avg earnings of the PL clubs.

I guess get a good education and you can get into higher paid jobs.

 

[Seagulls over Essex]

I got GCEs in metalwork and biology, if you want a cat welding, I'm your man

Ar the old Alexe Sayle joke lol.

 

[Eeyore]

I've got NSC Level 1

I guess get a good education and you can get into higher paid jobs.

And another survey highlighted that Brighton had the highest percentage of fans to vote Remain in the EU Referendum. I wonder if there's a link between educational attainment and a positive attitude towards our nearest neighbours....?

I got one art O level, it did nothing for me.

You could make a sculpture out of copper tube.

Better late than never, but notice they didn't send a reporter; quite strange after the GP profile.

Are Crystal Palace bottom?

Seem to recall that around 1968/9 one of our least performing french groups were put in for GCSEs and it was the first anyone had heard of them. Pretty sure non grammar schools used them at the time and that a good grade in GCSE was the equivalent of a low pass at GCE. Probably the beginning of the end for Grammar schools in Brighton and Hove.

CSE. Yes. They were offered at HGSB only to the thickies. I was made to do French CSE. I failed it . And yet I got a GCE Latin grade 3 (which is an A** in today's money, and would guarantee me an interview at GCHQ ).

We still have grammar schools in Faversham (North Kent). A bit weird but there you go.

I don't believe these numbers. An AVERAGE of 11 GCSEs?
This means that for every person who has 6 GCSEs, someone else has 16 !
How many do people take nowadays? When I was a boy (in an age far, far away) we only sat 7 GCE O-levels. My Chemistry master said that as I was doing Chemistry ar A-level, I did not have to do the O-level. So I only did 6.
