That's just about the daftest suggestion I've heard yet. Not even the highest echelons of the powers that be at Chiswick would be daft enough to make that assertion.

I suppose I should be gratified to see that you have elevated the status of our somewhat modest lack of willingness to endorse the IAM's stance on pull-push steering to that of a campaign. If only the IAM would take us as seriously.

To be honest, I'm confused about the standards and marking full stop, and differences between pass, First and Masters.
How, for example, using hir's outcomes and techniques, would they be marked across the three levels?
