I got 8 right, but most imprtantly I got question 8 correct. Have a go, are you in line for the throne, or are they going to throw you kicking and screaming back down the Channel Tunnel ?

[thunderstruck]

8 as well. Father Xmas doesn't come from the North Pole for goodness sake!

[pdV6]

11 - which wasn't bad, considering that much of it is fairly arbitary opinion rather than solid fact...

[diddyman]

I got 9 right. 1, 3, 6 - 10, 12 & 15.

Q 11 Those three-pin socket things in the wall. How many volts does electricity need to be British?

That is badly worded... It does not NEED to be what they say it is, as the amount of volts I put will suffice.

[Einion Yrth]

13, but I just guessed well in many cases

[alexkp]

12 - but many of them have three right answers, although only one "correct" one according to the test.

11, but who/what the ferk is "Life in the UK"????
Nobaody I know has ever heard of it/them.....

[wolves_wanderer]

I got 7! I suppose I'd best sneak into the back of a lorry and go home then

It's the new 150-page wonder book that our illustrious gvt has spent millions of taxpayers' money printing up.

Be cheaper to give them some proper loo roll...

Thanks for that, no wonder I didn't know about it, I assume it's for the non-aboriginal brits then?????

[steveherb]

6 for me! Allah help me. Anyone know what time the next ferry leaves for Islamabad?

Yes, I belive if you want to become a citizen of this country you have to read it and answer the questions... No doubt it will be available in 24 different languages excluding English.

11, Can I be prime minister now? or do I need a lower score? :roll:

[D-Angle]

Question 1 really got me
"Life in the UK says to be British means you should..."

I picked B: "Share in the history and culture of an island nation with a character moulded by many different peoples over more than two thousand years."

Apparently I should have picked A: "Respect laws, the elected political structures, traditional values of mutual tolerance and respect for rights and mutual concern."

So being a good boy and doing whatever the Proletariat tell you is more important than where Britain came from, ie standing up to tyranny and fighting for the right to disagree with your government if need be? I see...

[Flat in Fifth]

How many volts does electricity need to be British. FFS!

Next they'll be asking how do they arrange it so the red electrons only go to the rear lights on cars.
Pah!

I was looking for the correct answer for number one (Complain a lot about everything) but couldn't find it, so I just picked one randomly since they all said the same meaningless BS

[BliarOut]

7 for me, but this was priceless:

The survey said:

Life in the UK explains what to do if you spill someone's pint in the pub (we're not making this up). What, according to the book, usually happens next? A: You would offer to buy the person another pint B: You would offer to dry their wet shirt with your own C: You may need to prepare for a fight in the car park Question 9 You've unfortunately had that fight and are bleeding from a well-placed left hook. Which two telephone numbers can you call for an ambulance?

Some of the answers are wrong anyway

[CupraR]

11 so unfortunately it looks like I'm unlikely to get deported.

[Prof Beard]

What a heap of st! I got 11

So according to this as long as laywer is cheap it doesn't matter if they know what they are doing or not?
