Strangely, BA (EC) from Leicester and Pisa from the time when it was the EC, not the EU.

Really interesting to know, thanks!

Don't think it's as bad as it used to be. Personally did some sport but music too, and much more of a mix of people nowadays. As it happens I'm back up there next week for the 10 year anniversary of the band I was in, Kinky Jeff and the Hatfield Swingers

These are the most important of the lot here IMHO - but the grade 5 theory is great too!

For me B.Ed, MA.

Hmm.

As befits my lowly Ag status, I can lay claim to the following motley collection:

BEng (Hons)
C&G RAE (historical class B radio amateur, now Full)
Swimming club instructor wotsit
Grade 2 Bb Tuba
DoE Bronze (possibly a omen of things to come)

I'll get my coat

That stays with me all the time, of course. Like a Ferrero Rocher. ^

Mine is a tale of regret and a waste of many years. I have as follows

MA (economics)
MSc (information systems management)
Can't remember the letters but I was a Member and then an Associate of the Institute of Bankers
PGCE


The regret and waste aspect is that I am self-employed and in no way use any of my qualifications. Though having a basic degree opened doors that might otherwise have been closed. While university was beyond fun I wish I'd skipped it and worked for myself sooner.
