Re: How British are you?
I scored 10 and I haven't lived in the UK for 45 years.
I just chose the most logical answers, which didn't help when it came to dog licences and choosing a lawyer. |

Re: How British are you?
I scored 8, and haven't lived there since '75. I got the dog license one wrong, the lawyer one, emergency phone numbers, and number of scots/welsh. So really that wasn't too bad I guess.
On the Canadian one, just doing the test without reading the book, I got 93%, mostly from guessing! |
Re: How British are you?
7 and proud to be middle of the road!

Re: How British are you?
How on earth does this help anybody?
'The UK introduced the 112 number to help foreign visitors who may not know that 999 is the main emergency number.' If they don't know 999 is the emergency number why would they know 112 is? |

It is available in just about all 27 EU states but only about one person in five is aware of it. |
Re: How British are you?
I got 10. Don't agree with some of the supposedly "right" answers, though - particularly the solicitors one. I would have asked both of the other two questions before worrying about the one they claim would be the deal-breaker.
