    Overall, the number of entries awarded A* to C grades in Northern Ireland increased by 0.4% to 79.1%.

    That is much higher than the overall performance of students across the UK, where 66.9% of all entries achieved A* to C grades.


    And we have to carry the Huns ffs :eek:

    Think it's a different system although I've no doubt the Jocks would skelp the Anglos and their wee brother Wales too.

    Can these results be broken down to show the difference between the Prods and Kaflicks?

    But us Londoners are the brainy bunch

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37158445


    Where in Europe would you expect to find the highest concentration of graduates?
    Would it be a particularly earnest quarter of Oslo? Or an erudite corner of Finland or Germany?
    The answer - by a considerable distance - is London. In parts of London, more than two in three adults of working age, have a degree or higher education equivalent.
    It is above anywhere in the European Union and unlike anywhere else in the United Kingdom.


    • Inner London west, 69.7%
    • Oslo 54%
    • Stockholm 49%
    • Madrid 47%
    • Ile de France 46%
    • South and eastern Ireland: 45%
    • Prague 40%
    • Berlin 37%
    • Kent, England 36.3%
    • Andalucia, Spain 28%
    • Picardy, France 24%
    • Lazio, Italy 23%
    • Saxony-Anhalt, Germany 23%
    • Southern Portugal 18%
    • Puglia, Italy 13%

    But even the Nick Nacks are better off than the Pikeys in Kent. Scottyland East Anglia don't even get a look in.

    Didn't say. What is does show is that brainy folk live in London even if they got educated elsewhere.

    We should have our own referendum to secede from the UK.

    If they took the Scousers, Dog ****ing Geordies and Swindon out of the stats England would have the highest pass rates by far.

    People that live in London = Londoners.

    For someone that's happy to support a foreign team you have serious issues with where people are from.
