Bronco,
I retract nothing, because at the end of the day this is all our own subjective opinion.
You seem to want to be correct on everything. If you need that reassurance in life, well great for you. I for one would not be happy going through life believing all I had to back me up was a few bits of paper (which have become easier to gain as time goes by), because at the end of the day just about everyone (bar me) has got all those said bits of paper!
So, what happens then?
Personality probably.
Something which is ingrained at an early age, and cannot be changed.
As far as my previous post went, i will modify it thus for you:
" Exams count for naff all"........ changes to ........." Exams count for naff all in MY CASE, because I have had a successful career in the City of London, and am now an airline pilot."
Perhaps that will assuage your anger over my posts.
If you need to feel a winner bronco, consider it done. Because I for one cannot be bothered in trading pointless banter with you on this subject.......
Do you work for an exam board part time?!?
