How British are you?

[avram]

Applicants for British citizenship will soon be required to pass a test demonstrating broad knowledge of life in the UK. The BBC News website has a quiz with ten sample questions. I got five out of ten, two of which were totally wild guesses, with two of the other three being educated guesses; I only really knew the answer to the last (about official languages).

I got 8 of 10, but that's no surprise. I lived in England for a couple of years, which probably helps a lot.

Geez, I only got four. What a wanker I am!

Well, I got six out of 10, but most of mine were guesses, too. (The only ones I was confident in were the language and religion questions, plus the one about the Labor PMs.) I'm not sure that even the Welsh care about the Welsh Assembly...

Oof

I only got three correct.
I want a study guide...

[And, of course, if they asked me questions about sixteenth and seventeenth century England, I prolly woulda passed.]

I got 7, and one of those was a guess.

I don't think anyone would expect people to know about the Sale of Goods Act. The Sale of Goods Act is what you threaten shops with, if people knew the details it would be much less effective.
