to quote him way back when
"I was at a Grammar School in an industrial area too in the 1950's"

Hell's teeth it must have been a poor Grammar School, my own expected every
student to obtain 10 'O' Levels, failure wasn't even considered as an
option.

FWIR of 1963, 7 (maybe 8 for the top class which could take English
literature, IE read a paperback "The Uses of Literacy" by Richard
Hoggart, set 1 mile away in Hunslet) was the effective max at our
school in 1963, because of timetable constraints.

1963 in Goole we were not allowed to take more then 8 and some,
non-uni candidates, were ecouraged to drop 1 or 2 - since 5 was the
requirement for teacher training and other colleges.
