Re: Life in the United Kingdom
Not half! Probably something like:
"You see, by this age the average UK-born Brit has already paid for a year's salary and six month's of my pension. These poor immigrants are, unfortunately, in arrears - a terrible position to be in. This is just one of many, actually rather painless, schemes that we've created to help them to catch up."

Re: Life in the United Kingdom
12 out of 24.......don't care, have the passport!! I sat and read the US test over and over again, hardly got any Q's asked as the guy was more interested that my wifes family are from Louisiana, and my Father in Law was a Captain in the Airborne. It was hysterical, I said are you going to ask me about the 13 original colonies? He said, I only ask that to people who piss me off, Haha!! Anyway, I doubt I am going anywhere else to live, so I'm not going to have to take any more tests...hopefully!!
