I passed- just!

Is that really a UK citizenship test?! No mention of The Archers or Ten O'clock news or milk first/ tea first?

Most odd.

I failed too. Got 50% right or wrong

I adore tea, I drink pints of the stuff. Assam's my favourite. Earl Grey is for wimps

I pass!

That said I don't feel UK citizenship is really worth answering 24 questions to obtain however.

Seriously, a few years ago when I was swotting for the "Who Wants to Be a British Citizen" quiz, I would bring in the study booklet and randomly pick a question every day for my (British) colleagues to answer. Not once did any of them ever get any correct.
