Hi Jan, you are good at these one liners. You always get the vision across. I never had the chance to cheat. I always got the seat by myself. It is so true though Jan. Nicely done on the anagram Jan....Vladislav. X A 7.

The rules at school especially for exams is so so strict they even have to take labels off bottles of water - there is very little chance of cheating we watch like hawks:-) hugs jan xx

I enjoy the challenge of these short forms- I pulled this from the contest and submitted another as this had no few reads and no comments and I thought of a better one:-) hugs Jan xx

I never had many of those in class, Jan, but sometimes one or two cropped up. It did not cross their minds that they were cheating themselves! Hugs // paul

It still happens Paul but the rules especially in exams are so so stringent they are silly to try and their paper could be in jeopardy:-( hugs Jan xx

It always comes down to a matter of character.
