I got 11 correct

by **Rookie** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 2:33 pm

Six!!

Some of the q's are a bit random

10! That makes me good and british.

But if the english outnumber everyone else by nine to one, then on average everyone is near enough english. excellent.

jobby, I got 6. Just made it out of Heathrow arrivals.

But then again I've not lived in Britain for over 7 years and could have a swedish passport if i wanted it.

10 too. the last q. seems strange- most important to check how much they charge??! "yes, i charge 5 pounds an hour. my name? lionel hutz."

This question is incorrectly worded - and was obviously a mistake in the translation.
Replace the word solicitor with Prostitute. See, it makes sense now.

that test is random.

According to Life in the UK, where does Father Christmas come from?

wtf has that got to do with being British??

by **Rookie** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 5:17 pm

the website does say that the q's are unofficial and I guess made up by the bbc.

The book will include it since it's relevent to british culture

What a load of w**k.

Almost 60m people live in the UK. By what factor do the native-born English outnumber their Scots or Welsh neighbours? Firstly the question is ambiguous - outnumber the Scottish or Welsh individually or combined? Secondly the full version of UK is "The United Kingdom of Great Britian and Northern Ireland" - no mention of the Northern Irish anywhere.

I got 5 by the way but like to think they were the most relevant 5 - nothing to do with divorce, solictors, father christmas but important things like Magna Carta, saints days and legal rights. :oops:
