A-levels

Does anyone have any idea what A-levels Jarvis took? I believe he did four and that one was English. His regular mentions of volcanic and tectonic activity might suggest he did geography and I wonder if he carried on with economics after that early band-naming lesson.

Can anyone cast any light?

There was a time when I actually knew this, but it's gone now!

Geography was definitely one though, and English Lit yes. Maybe Economics?

Thanks, Sturdy.

I thought you might know. So English literature and geography are two we are sure about and we agree that economics might be another but I can't think what the fourth might be. I did a few extra exams alongside normal A-levels, myself, like Use of English and the General Paper, but I think they were called O/S Levels in those days (we are talking 1980 in my case). Lyrics such as: "When the unbelievable object meets the unstoppable force..." might suggest physics! Though, normally you'd do that subject hand-in-hand with maths and we haven't included that in our trio so far.

Something tells me it wasn't a foreign language.

I think that he may have studied film; it would make sense because he later studied this at St. Martin's...

There wasn't a film A-level available in my very large sixth form in 1996, so I very much doubt there was one in Sheffield in 1980. Could be wrong though!

That was my feeling too, I took my A-levels 2 years after Jarvis, in 1984, and there were no such trendy, new-fangled subjects that I was aware of, but I couldn't swear that they didn't exist anywhere.
