Would anyone tell me if I was getting...stupider?

Reading the newspaper the other day, I came across a piece which said that University admissions tutors were decrying the decline in educational standards represented by A-level grades. For example, one claim they were making was that work of a standard which would have recieved an "F" (fail) grade 15 years ago was now routinely being awarded a "C" grade, and that this was making the task of identifying good quality students capable of benefitting from university education increasingly difficult - especially in the light of central government initiatives to do away with separate University entrance exams - and that all exam grades were being marked up in a similar fashion.
Some people might be shocked by this decline in educational standards, but as usual I see it as an opportunity. I'm going to be asking the exam board for my 15-year old A-level grades to be reclassified in line with this dumbing down process. This will transform my educational achievements from the lacklustre selection of middling grades that they currently are to four A* grades, which should in turn help me get into a decent university rather than the Mickey Mouse establishment I actually attended.
And I'll deserve it just as much as anyone.
