Sir – I don’t wish to sound controversial but it seems the annual announcement of the GCSE results is greeted on television and in the newspapers by a majority of girls looking extremely excited by their success whilst the boys are in the background.

Your paper had photos of 20 girls versus five boys displayed. Mischievously I am thinking that the boys just take it in their stride, or are they just not “bovvered”?
