but they were always involved negative marking - meaning you got marks for questions you got right, but lost marks for questions you answered wrong. I wondered about that and quite right of course, assuming the lost marks reflect the odds of simply guessing the correct answer. Interesting that your experience isn't of multiple choice, gts. It has come over in the media that this form of exam is quite common although you can see how it would simply not be possible in many subjects.

Forget the controversies surrounding Kempes, Luque and the rest of the Argies - this ball (Gemmil's goal aside) was the real star of the 1978 World Cup!

that and the ticker tape gazz. Most definitely - replicated at White Hart Lane when Villa and Ardiles signed for Tottingham!

Most of us can no doubt remember our very first day at work. Pitching up all meek and mild and knowing nothing about anything. Modern apprentices don't seem to do meek and mild, they seem to want to find out the hard way. I walked into a barney between an apprentice in his first month on the job and one of our welders, I mean ffs! Silly little sod had to find out the hard way. Waaay too cool to go to Morrisons in his shiny new steel toe caps he went in his trainers and when he came back he found his shiny new steel toe caps welded to his locker door! Fantastic!

My first day in work was on my YTS (I know, but it was a good family company that took me on and I stayed there for 16 years in the best job I've ever had!) in July 1985. During my induction, for some bizarre reason my attention wandered and I imagined - in a Scrubs-style daydream scene - the personnel officer leaning to her side and letting off a rip-roaring fart - needless to say I burst into giggles and looked a complete tw##! What can I say, I've always been a strange guy!

Who remembers fish bits? A thing from my school days at Goyt Bank/Offeton High School, when we used to go to what used to be known as the Regal Chippy on Offerton Fold at lunchtimes. Any loose drops of batter that dripped off and fried when the fish were put into fry were fished out and kept in a separate compartment, then sprinkled, on request, over my Chips, Peas and Gravy - those were the days!

Wong's on the A6 near Mile End used to do the same. Never saw the appeal myself but a mate from school used to rave about them. "Chips, gravy and fish bits" every time.

Mr Wong retired last year so that place is sadly no more, but I went there many times while on a Friday pub crawl back in the day - another great chippy that's followed the Regal into oblivion.

as a kid, when the pennies really mattered, a crispy, battery freebie on top of your chips, and just having the crispness starting to go on contact with the gravy/peas and gravy/curry sauce, was a great thing.
then i left the SK postcode area and found that they were called 'scraps' in leeds, which i like much less. chip barm anyone?

Always had gravy on my chips from "Chukkies" on Church Road, New Mills (he called everyone mi' chuck).
That was until the Chinese opened on Albion Road when their curry was the best topping in town.

My favourite too. Whilst contracting in Milton Keynes there was a great Chinese chippy round the corner from where I was staying. The chips were just how I like them but they didn't do curry sauce and they looked at me gone out when I asked if they did gravy. All they had was sweet and sour sauce. No, just no.
