I joined the MetO in 1970 straight from skool with A-levels. Easy peasy

told that one had to 21 years old to do that. I said, no problem and became
an assistant doing obs and plotting charts and making tea. I loved it.
It's just a shame this attitude isn't taken these days. If you've got strong A-level results there's every chance you'll end with a 2-1 or whatever in your degree course.
