I believe that @Crawley Dingo is currently in the process of setting up an alternative Brighton Fans forum which isn't a left wing commie liberal woke mouthpiece. Maybe you should get him to PM you when it's ready :wink:
But the post above yours suggests that any given standard is actually dropping year by year, so a first from 15 years ago was a far higher standard than a first from this year due to commercial pressures, and I can't see the reasoning behind changing the percentage principle, beyond political...
Well if North Korea says it's a 'socialist utopia' then it must be, because they are nothing if not meticulously honest, like when they won the World cup :wink:
I have to say I disagree. I'm not sure that with the numbers involved there are 'clever' or 'thick' years statistically (and besides which, how could you tell if the exams are different each year that it's not simply hard or easy exam years ?)

If they won't make the jump just now, I don't think they would have lasted long early noughties :wink:
And lurking seems normal to decide whether it's for you. It's the 'new' posters who dive straight in with dozens of posts a...
Truss taking over as PM from Johnson like some sort of dystopian nightmare.
How could Britain have totally f***ed things up so completely that we got this ............... oh yeah, I remember :shootself
I have to say that generally I think it is excellent hence 20+ years on here.
I may have mentioned it before :wink: but I find dishonest posters frustrating, particularly repeat offenders. The NSC patron thing is good because it means that the poster has been honest enough to give bank details...
