   Strange date?   
      
   I hardly think that 12 grownups passing an exam targetted at 5-year-olds   
   is a cause for public celebration, more a reason for them to hang their   
   heads in shame, because for years under the old regime of the RAE   
   and 12WPM Morse test, legions of otherwise-unqualified self-taught   
   14-year-olds studied for and passed both hurdles at the first sitting,   
   so are those grownups of today proud that their acadaemic prowess   
   is some IQ points below the 14-year-olds of yesteryear?
