Widger - "Was, Courtney, was....."
I recall that I passed GCE 'O' level English Language at 14. A year before I went to OASC at Biggin Hill and almost exactly 3 years before I went to RAFC Cranwell.
Is the standard of English grammar, spelling and punctuation demonstrated by some on this thread typical of today's yoof? If so, then heaven help us!
