Are we all aboard the good ship HMS Historical Competition - or are some of us waiting for the final bell to be struck at midnight?

Ooo, I think I could give you a run for your money!

Although I did sit an exam once and half-way through an elderly examiner fell off the stage in the hall. There was this moment when all of the room were looking at their watches to see if they could spare the time to go and help her up! It's terrible when your basic humanity get's pushed aside because you only have a limited time to pass an exam!

Ha ha! Excellent story, Katie. Could make a short story in itself!
