My guess is that the solicitor should self-review for conflict of interest and technical competence before accepting the client, therefore fees are the correct answer by elimination.

I got it wrong too. The trouble with this kind of quiz, if you haven't read the book, is that you have to guess the level it is pitched at.

7

Mind you I should have been true to my Northern Irish catholic upbringing and scored zero:)

Re: How British are you?
 

9.

I can't quite believe there's a question about Santa on a British citizenship test? :huh:

and I got it wrong

Re: How British are you?
 

6. What an odd selection of questions, at least I got the Santa question right. Not bad considering I don't particularily want to be British....or live in the UK anyway! :rofl:

Can't believe you HAVE to be married for 1 year before you can get divorced - how awful.

Re: How British are you?
 

I got 6.

They were not that easy, as people have mentioned, why santa?????

Re: How British are you?
 

Maybe i`m speaking out of line but I would think that if there are questions that need answering by potential immigrants to any country they should be about the following

1) The law relating to everyday stuff.
2) Driving
3) Utlilities - cost of / where to get the information from
4) Working
5) Cost of living / taxes etc
6) Health / dental care

If people have a basic grasp of the everyday workings of a society before they arrive then in theory you would by default live that way, as its the way you've learned before getting there.

NOT

Where is Santa from
How not to get murdered in a bar (tho I can see its point)
Local Tbags

Just my 2 penneth worth

Re: How British are you?

What she said ;)

Re: How British are you?
 

Maybe it's to distract people from the otherwise depressing mixture of arrest procedure, pub brawls and divorce!

Re: How British are you?
 

And for the UK:

7) How to leave and live somewhere nicer.

Re: How British are you?
 

I think they should make it more difficult to get married and easier to get divorced!


Also just remember that when you become a Canadian Citizen you have to swear you'll be faithful "and bear true allegiance" to her Majesty the Queen;)

Re: How British are you?
 

I don't think questions with a historical focus are out of place in a citizenship test. I do think the bizarre part consumer advice/ part pub quiz style British one is completely pointless though :eek:

My OH's step father (he's from Downpatrick) says he's going to cross his fingers at that bit in the Citizenship Ceremony:rofl:

(I totally agree with you about the license to have children! Mind you if there was a test my OH and I would probably have failed)

Re: How British are you?
 

Me too - I got 100% and don't live there yet :lol: and only got 9 on the UK one... I guess some things are just not meant to be...and me being stuck in Staffs is one of them ;)
