Re: The real British citizen test.
Impressive, you guys should form a pub quiz team (I didn't think anyone would get the Led Zeppelin one)!
For the three remaining, here are some clues:-
One isn't a British band (it's a trick questions as the band is actually Irish).
One is by Radiohead but what's the song?
The final one is really easy, I'm surprised no one got it actually, as you don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure it out..

Re: The real British citizen test.
Here we go:-
Should I stay or should I go?
SHould I stay or Should I Go - The Clash
Is this just fantasy?
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone, you know I feel okay?
Hard Day's Night - Beatles
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
Wish you were here - Pink Floyd
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions?
The Scientist - Coldplay
How long?
Sunday bloody Sunday..U2 (the Irish band!)
But did it really turn out bad?
Baggy trousers - Madness
What's that...?.... Why don't you remember my name?
Paranoid android - Radiohead
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today?
Going to California - Led Zeppelin
Has anybody got any veras?
Ebeneezer Goode - The Shamen
And the bonus questions come from that last song (which will probably suit the cockney smokers out there):
i) Has anybody got any Veras? What are Veras?
ii) Got any salmon? What is salmon in this context?
