Re: How BRITISH are YOU?

8 out of 24...

and then the screen changed and said I must be Scottish, since I obviously have never felt the need to learn about how the English or EU parliaments work...

17/24/ Whoo hoo! And I'm only half English. Shame on the rest of you full-bloods.

I fully admit to a few lucky guesses.

18/24 does that mean they will let me back in when my time in the sun is up ?

Have to say if was not multiple choice it would have been a lot lower score.

'Tis indeed! Sorry to hear about the leg! Played many times on the Stanley ground! In fact won the local football league in about 1966 when we had a whole 3 teams!! (Rangers, Redsox and Mustangs!)

Don't miss the Penguins, but could do with some of their eggs as they make wonderful omlettes!

I got 13 right....but the test is codswhallop and doesn't define Britishness one bit.

How about some cultural and historical questions...all centred around drinking and fighting to make it fair to real Brits!

Re: How BRITISH are YOU?

16 out of 24 and I'm only a poor bl*ck Colonial, who has never even lived in the UK.

Man - you white fellas did a good job of indoctrinating us, before you shot back off to England. We still have your Queen - when do you want her back?
