If the English Baccalaureate had gone ahead, job application forms would soon have been asking "Have you obtained the English Baccalaureate or equivalent?".
To lawfully answer 'Yes', you'd need to have O-levels (at any grade), CSE (at Grade 1 only) or GCSEs (at grades A to C only) in ALL of the following 5 subjects areas:
Maths
English
A 'pure' Science subject (such as Physics, Chemistry or Biology)
A modern language
Either History or Geography.
So how many of you could lawfully answer 'Yes'. I couldn't!

Did they actually call it 'Technical Drawing' on your exam certificate or was it (as on mine) the more grandiose 'Geometrical and Mechanical Drawing'?
Oh, hang on a minute, Paddy. I've just re-read your post. Unless you simply forgot to mention a modern language, you're officially a 'failure' - just like me!

Chico, I'll have to check tomorrow but I think it was actually called Engineering Drawing, this was under the old Northern Universities Board. I did French but I wasn't all that good at it and just scrapped through with a minimum grade pass I think it was a 5 at the time I try to forget it as it was probably the worst result in my academic career.
