Default Test the nation quiz - oh dear!

Another Test the Nation quiz is on Monday, they have a trial test on the BBC website.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/testthenation/test2003/

I'm obviously concentrating far too much on the other side of the world as I only managed 10/20, even after about 5 tries.



I must put the British news on more frequently! Funny cos I usually know what's going on in Australia thanks to the email subscription to news.com.au!

Anyone else tried it?

I just did it, got 6. Didn't bother trying again, as I am sure I didnt really know any of the answers, just pure guesswork. I've been away too long.
