wow...
did the school not call you, your parents your next of kin any of your family
they should have come beating down on your door
the one time this happened to someone, not in my year but someone else i know, the exams officer in their school drove 15 minuites to their house, beat on the door and the boy had to go to school, he got there 45 minuites late with the rest of his year waiting for him!!!!
