She's just trying it on - trying to make a quid or two in compensation or whatever.
She probably already made a few quid from the newspaper.
Do GCSE's really go down to 'G'?

That's the quote of the year. Extreme stupidity and self righteousness in the same sentence.
I'm actually suprised she can use a phone. Or speak.

'Cool Cash' card confusion
Ciara Leeming

But the concept of comparing negative numbers proved too difficult for some Camelot received dozens of complaints on the first day from players who could not understand how, for example, -5 is higher than -6.
Tina Farrell, from Levenshulme, called Camelot after failing to win with several cards. The 23-year-old, who said she had left school without a maths GCSE, said: "On one of my cards it said I had to find temperatures lower than -8. The numbers I uncovered were -6 and -7 so I thought I had won, and so did the woman in the shop. But when she scanned the card the machine said I hadn't.
"I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it."
| So which player has the higher potential ability: -6 or -8?

This thread would have drawn so many more views/posts if I'd given it it the subject line.
