Declining standards in UK academic institutions reach a new low

Salut,

this is going to be a very short post for reasons that will soon be made clear. Greg and I are now in Nantes, having walked over 350 kilometres. We have faced yet more rain and Greg's feet and leg is in a very bad way (looks like that medical insurance will prove useful!) yet we both remain resilient and happy.

Anyhow, today Greg and I received our final university results and we both now hold 1st class degrees in International Development with Non-governmental Organisational Management. And so it would appear that the headlines really are true, UK educational standards clearly are at an all time low.

Now, we're in the land of champagne and we have reason to celebrate, so I hope you will excuse us for a few days... .
