Took me all my time to scrape a 6 at "O" Level.  Should've known better than to take this MB's premier statistician to task! 

I thought O level grades went from A-E then U and it was only CSEs that had numbered grades? Or were O-level grades numbered at some point in time too?

Have no recollection whatsoever of when the switch from numbers to letters at that level occurred (never needed to know), but when I was at school (late 60s/early 70s), pass marks at O (for Ordinary) Level went from 1 to 6.  That said, my most recent formal national qualification at that level (an A in Spanish following evening classes at my local FE college) was attained in the last year in which O Levels were awarded (summer of 1987).  Picked up an A at A Level a couple of years later, too... wink

 It depended on the board for O'levels.  Some boards graded 1-9 until O' Levels were abolished, while others graded A -F.    During the same time A' Levels were graded A - F

 I am not surprised by that. I was very impressed with how Look played against Evo at Frinton last week and I expect to see him move up the rankings over the coming months.

So 5 out of 12 Brits come through qualifying compared to just 1 out of 13 Irishmen.

Yes - I was just thinking, we should have had a DC tie v Ireland this year (if they hadn't lost to LUX in R1) but the 5 GB v IRL FQR matches will have to do as a substitute - we won those 4-1 wink

 

Oh dear, main draw matches between GB and Ireland players  0 - 4,  and they've had the better of the doubles matches too

And they've been better generally, having two singles semi finalists and a full Irish doubles final partnership.

I know GB hardly had the A ( well even  B or C ) squad out, but you guys started this line   wink

Yes, they certainly got their own back - they seem to react better when ranking points are available

I can't begrudge them though - the Tennis Ireland tweeter has been great with us this week and he/she, a mad fan a well as a TI employee I assume, has done a spectacularly good job of making their DC tie and a 15K Futures event sound like the most exciting events in the world for their home fans - some subtle lessons for other tournaments / tennis associations there!

Then again, if the LTA could get away with treating a 3-2 DC relegation tie win against Tunisia and two home players in the SFs of a 15K Futures as huge successes, they might feel free to show a lot more enthusiasm too. wink

Not that I'm suggesting for a moment that they should have the same measures of success, given GB and Ireland's relative sizes and availability of funding of course, it's just nice to see them enjoying themselves so much.
