I came out at only 50% which rather surprised me, what-ho.

Default Re: How British are you these Days.

This is great! I scored 65% and am not even British, but have lived in England for the last 6 years. Used to have a German car in Australia though, which might have upped the score a little more if I still had it - got a good old British Jaguar here though which surely counts for something?!

Default How British are you these Days.

Jolly pleased to say 95%

Failed on the German car bit, I drive Japanese.

Here is what it said:

Are you British?

Hell, you're more of a Brit than the Queen is!

You're truly the dog's bollocks... and you know that's not an insult.

So what if you're a slobbering drunk obsessed with football?

At least you always remember your manners.


Oddly enough, the questions never mentioned cucumber sandwiches or gin and tonic with a slice of lemon.

It must therefore be flawed.

Never mentioned M&S either....that would've pushed my score up infinitely

I fear some of you may be taking this quiz too seriously

I'm glad I got 40%! I was never one of those Brits who complained about not getting a proper cup of tea abroad, Hate football, am modest, speak my mind, I don't apologize constantly. I drink more coffee than tea and hardly have fish and chips or beer. Oh and have a Japanese car!

You mean it wasn't for real? Thank God for that, I thought it was the new test to see if they'll allow us back into the country.

Default Re: How British are you these Days.

The questions were not British related like
a) How quick can you get legless in the evening
b) Do you like real British food like Curry
c) How many days have you sat waiting in A&E waiting rooms this year
d) Do you like a good punch up at a footy match
e) Did you enjoy the last street riots

Yuuuurrgghhhhh!!! Haze's dad drinks all that pinky in the air shennannigans, but always has a box of what his wife calls "the builder's tea" in the cupboard.
We drink builders tea.....PG tips! Apparently it's gumboot tea here.
