Yes. I was about to make the same point about softening edges. I have MDF discs with faceplate rings.

Brilliant!.

They were from the first 24 questions, which could get you a "C". Questions 1 - 24 were foundation level (up to and inc. "C", questions 17 - 40 were higher tier, up to "A". Older people especially would take a "C" to be a decent pass and indicate a level of competence.

He'll never live that one down.

That's why I said that paper could get you "C".

I invigilated GCSEs, A levels and professional exams for a few years. Here are a few questions .......... I kid you not ............ from an foundation level GCSE maths paper. How many 50 pences are there in £200? What is 17 + 14? Write 6008 in words. 28 x 4? I wrote down ten questions and...

I don't doubt another table will have everything recorded differently. The German brands don't appear near the top of many, though.

I looked at evening classes for MMA, it's a long while since I welded. Sixteen hours over eight weeks, inc. MIG and TIG which I'm not really bothered about worked out at £26+ per hour. I know a very good welder and I'm going to slip him £50 here and there to guide me.
