… so single maths, physics and chemistry (plus electronics and general studies for good measure) it was.
To answer all of your other burning questions:
- I did return the slip to Mr Champion’s office “tomorrow without fail“.
- My O level results were ‘adequate’.
- I did go to Wilsthorpe, (not Ilkeston or even Gordonstoun).
- Maths, physics, chemistry is still a better A level choice in 2014 than double maths and physics.
- I hope that I’ve subsequently managed to repay Mr Champion’s confidence!
