I find this fact quite amusing:

Camilla is cleverer then Diana because....

Wait for it....

... Camilla got 1 GCSE where as Diana got none!


'GCSE'...what is this?

I hope I don't stand out to badly as an ignorant American in this guild.


General Certificate of Standard Education...I think.

They're the exams you take at 16, before you get the option of leaving school.

To put their achievements in context, I got two of them last year for a class I took only one lunchtime every week.

Yes I'm not too sure what they stand for, but apparently I should be getting eleven, where as most people in my year get ten, whoo go me...

What did you take at lunchtime then?

Young Enterprise. Its worth the equivalent of two GCSEs and you can't possibly fail the exam unless you turn up without a pen.

I also made £50 out of it

Ah, useful! We don't have that at my school, but I do ICT (quite easy, I'm not bothering to revise because I got 100% last time I took a test last week) which is the equivalent of two.

However, I would like to have done Astronomy and Latin GCSE instead of Art and French.

Widening the remit to encompass the royal family in general, Prince Charles rocks.

We need a PM with the same long-term view.

GCSE - General Certificate of Secondary Education. Not meaning to be contentious but I doubt the accuracy of your source as GCSE's weren't introduced until 1986 so Camilla Parker Bowles couldn't have taken them. She would, however have taken the School Cert, which was more like the American Graduation exam, all subjects contributing to an overall pass or fail. So passing her School Cert was not an indication of her being thick - rather the opposite.
Dear Diana was educated as I was, taking separate exams in each subject with the higher standard at O-Level and the lower standard at CSE. So you see, her inability to pass even one CSE is, unfortunately a good indication that academia was not her strong point.

hmm, lately around the area where i live, we have had quite a few socialists popping up, and to be quite frank, it irritates me that the call the royals scum and they believe that they do nothing at all, i would protect the royals till i die ^^
