You can get 5 wrong on the written test but just read the mock papers on line its piss easy - as others have said the practical involves turning up sober and not hitting anything (speaking in an accent like a 1950s BBC newscaster seems to help as well)
Oh and Glasgow boy are you and the missus going to the Ship on Thursday night ?

To the OP - if you have a SS number, you're good to go. You wont need to show the card.

Irvine, Ayrshire, will indeed have pubs on the quay. However, being Ayrshire, the clientell will be of the inbred, farmyard animal loving variety. Its not highly recommended.
Irvine, Orange County, wouldn't allow anything as crass as a pub. Its also land-locked so there's not that many quays.
