      That’s a long time ago! I got 9 As and 2 A*s (English literature and German). I have no idea how I managed to get that, but I worked hard all the way.

      I went to Grammar school in Germany and we have a completely different system. So I actually had to look up what GCSE means. In my final written exams I had latin (oh yeah), biology, German. But most of the other subjects (maths, history, music, you name it) I had to do two written tests per year and all the results were added up to a final grade.

      Like Chris GCSEs were before my time. I did chemistry maths and physics at A level think ABC and I got 5 GCEs. Ten years ago I did human biology A level (got an A) because I did not understand what the people at work were talking about.
