Picture taken of a local bus stop in slightly dodgy early morning light. It's an ad for Maynard School's Sixth Form. When I first saw it I couldn't figure out what it meant; I thought maybe the asterisk stood for the world's shortest swear word. Then it dawned on me that it was the grade A* and therefore should be read as 'a star'.
Let's hope that it doesn't tempt teachers at parents evenings to say "your daughter is a one" - although that will be the lowest GCSE grade - or "your daughter is a C".
