I lost all my certificates
when my house got repo'd:
O levels, A levels,
birth, marriage, divorce
degree, martial arts
all that vocational rubbish
from the civil service.
I got a new passport, birth certificate
and deed poll of name change.
I've never needed the rest,
just an air of confidence
and the ability to bluff.

Thanks. Self-assurance gets you 95% of the way to anything.
