        Exams aren't easier, children are more intelligent. We learn new things over a 30 year period, and we change our exams.

        @BBCNews cue the shouts of "exams are too easy now" rather than "kids are taught better than the dumbshits of the past"

        @BBCNews Is it an inappropriate time to say that exams are getting easier and there are too many Mickey Mouse courses at Uni?
