I know lots of doctors don't have biology A level, but I don't see anyone going back and taking it. The material is all covered in our first term at medical school. Well first six weeks actually.

Its like being tortured...I'm going to Borders at lunch time... Not sure I've got time to fill in <strong>all </strong>the gaps in my education...I'm currently thinking of taking Maths a-level as my mum disuaded me from taking it...its for boys (geeky ones) and I've always regretted it.... When my son starts asking grammer questions I might just direct him to Ben..or you if you read those books! I’ve just spent the morning proof reading somebody elses work.

I do find Amazon slightly awkward from this point of view. I shall have to pick them up tomorrow and report back. I wonder if I can teach myself what I missed during formal education? Or informal education in our case. I do have a lovely book on stats though - it's the follow up to 'Statistics at Square one' which is the best book on stats ever: 'Statistics at Square 2'. I highly recommend it. My books on grammar are currently at the post office. I do find Amazon slightly awkward from this point of view. I shall have to pick them up tomorrow and report back.
