Gavin's memory

15 replies

Our Secretary of State for Education can remember vividly the day he got his A Level results. Unfortunately, he 'cannot remember' what those results were. Worrying memory loss in a comparatively young man.

Blimey Im a lot older than Gav and i can still remember i got B,D,E - in those days it wasnt great but good enough to get me on a well respected course at a polytechnic. I can still remember the exact details of getting said results but perhaps, despite having slightly crappy Alevels I have an exceptional memory. All my friends who are the same age can also remember thier Alevel results too - so perhaps Im not so exceptional!!!

Ps None of my Alevels were English - science based. Just re- read my post and spotted so many typos!!!

It is indeed rather puzzling! Wink

The man is incompetent!

If you didn't get the A level results you wanted today remember I got a C and two U's and I still became the Secretary of State fro Education…

Wikipedia suggests CDE

ToomuchHeat · 11/08/2021 05:49

Wiki is THE fountain of knowledge...

Well obviously it's only ever a starting point. I don't have the time to follow up the reference but the other details on his education are correct.
The fact remains that claiming not to remember your A Level results is a tad odd.

He does remember, he’s just too embarrassed to admit publicly what they were

eddiemairswife · 11/08/2021 10:11

He went to the same school as Gary Windass.

Especially with having people like Priti Patel and Kwasi Kwarteng in the cabinet.

Given my mother can remember hers ans she is 71, he needs to see a specialist asap...Wink

He’s a waste of space , I really am disgusted by him. He’s very dim as well

Kwarteng has had a stellar education (winning scholarships), but I don’t think The Boy Gavin would be educationally challenged by Patel.

Kwarteng has scholarships and a first from Cambridge!
