IN this year's GCSE and "A" Level examinations, girls have outshone boys. Feminine squeals of delight.

Generally speaking, in humans, males have greater muscular power. Maybe nature has compensated females by endowing them with greater cerebral strength, again generally speaking.

Anyway, members of both sexes will soon be heading for university. But should they not be hurrying in the direction of a Yorkshire working men's club instead?

The leader of Her Majesty's loyal opposition, no less, has declared that he learnt more from the latter source than during all his years at Oxford!
