Yes, this post is about a bit of the other. So if you’re likely to be offended, please don’t read any further. Bye. Look: I’m warning you: we’re going to be covering STIs, condoms, pregnancy, homosexuality and masturbation. Are you really sure you want to read on? If you’re a relative, particularly an elderly one [...]

I was reading a news release from my local council, celebrating good A level results today, and trying to avoid the obvious question. Are A-Levels getting easier? Oi! I said I was trying to avoid this question. It’s not an easy question to answer.
