The Times one that jings thinks is a trap wink

Here's a little thumbsing I found quite interesting: See if you know before looking at the answer.

Before Gordon Brown (who started studying at the University of Edinburgh at the age of 16), who was the last prime minister to get a degree as an undergraduate from a university other than Oxford or Cambridge?









It was the Earl of Bute. The Earl of Bute left office in 1763.

They are all a trap! I've signed up to the Telegraph one. No way will I remember to cancel in time.

Don't give way to the firewall-ers!

Oh! I've just popped back as it ocurred to me - when you say "making the most of an offer", you mean a university offer don't you? smile.

Yes. That would be making the most of it. smile
