    Hardly surprising, I made them both up.

    Go on, Peter, tell us where you got your degree. We promise not to laugh.

    Too much.

    There are no polys. The phrase you are looking for is 'post-92'.

    Nice try, but the term post 92 is not an accident. All polytechnics became universities under John Major. Nothing to do with Mr Blair or the Labour Party.

    Well, I'll admit that my modern English history is limited to post 95 when I arrived. And even that isn't very good.

    But it was Blair that wanted to get the post secondary education numbers up to 50% wasn't it? And didn't he dumb down A levels and let pretty much every institution call themselves a university in order to do that?
