Ack!

More marking? It never ends, does it? Alas, this is the worse possible type to mark. Exellent, concise answers? Good to mark. Large blanks spaces and early exits from the exam? Good to mark. Long meandering answers that are utterly confused and show total lack of understanding? Not good to mark. And you should see the handwriting...

Heh - nah, it's not that bad. A look in the paper today shows that I'm living in the "world's greatest country". Yay! According to Anholt Nation Brands: "Brand UK continues to rank high because its scores are so consistently good in most categories and in most countries. Other countries get better scores here and there, but the UK hardly gets a low score from anyone."

William Shakespeare, David Beckham (?!), Stonehenge, Stiff Upper Lip, it's all there. Not so sure of the stiff upper lip these days, but I did watch the film of "The Battle of Britain" the other day. Lots of 40s derring-do, a fair few "Tally Ho Red Leader!" quotes, and all the rest of it. We may have changed since then, but no-one's noticed yet. :-)
