Britishness Test on BBC Web Site
I got 10 out of 14
http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4099770.stm
This is my favourite question:
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

Re: Britishness Test on BBC Web Site
I only got 7 out of ten (bad guessing!). However, I did succeed with the most important ones - buying another pint if spilling one (though not relevant for all pubs 
) and knowing I don't have to go to the Police Station unless I'm arrested. Practical girl me

Re: Britishness Test on BBC Web Site
10, not bad for an Aussie, adopted Brit.
Let's start our own test of Britishness with our own questions eh?
I'll start it off with:
1 Who or what is Becks?
A A beer
B Streams in the Lake District
C A footballer who can kick a ball really well and ........er, er
