The Sundays rang with indignation and approbation at the fact that the winner of The Apprentice, Lee McQueen had lied on his CV about his educational background. McQueen claimed to have attended university(?) for two years, when in fact he had lasted 4 months.
Good job he didn't try the same stunt as Omar Khan of Orange County, L.A.
The 18 year old student is charged with breaking into his high school and hacking into the computer's admin system in order to change his and his friend's grades, in some case from F (for Fail) to A. He also stole test questions and answers which he e-mailed to friends. If convicted on all 69 counts he faces up to 38 years in jail.
But there again, once he gets onto the prison's computers that will probably change to 38days, if it doesn't disappear altogether.

They were granted an upgrade for life experience :-)

When my mother worked with them, there used to be a strange phenomena of people going into the RAF with 'o' levels which had mysteriously turned into 'A' levels when they wrote up their c.v.s for careers advice as they prepared to leave.
