A sprightly pensioner has become the oldest person in Britain to ever sit a GCSE exam - at the grand age of 92. Derek Skipper, a former radar engineer during the Korean War, sat his exam alongside a gym full of 16-year-olds. He said: โI didnโt even notice they were there. I just had my head down and got on with it. Iโm obviously a bit slower and I found that I switched off at times. My brain just stopped working for a minute or two."
