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 ?
Given the week we're having for various reasons, we may both be there from tonight on

But yes - we'll be there Thursday. You guys coming down again?

True, but then they do have the right not to issue a US one in return.

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

If I remember correctly there's a good little pub on the quay at Irvine, either the Crossed keys or Golden keys..or something like that. have a karaoke on a Thursday night (or used to) and packed with jock crumpet (not that you'd be interested of course). Foods reasonable too.

I'm assuming you're thinking of Irvine, Ayrshire - as oppossed to Irvine, Orange County.

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.

Ah ha. I was talking about Ayrshire and thought you guys were. Actually wondered WTF Eskimo would be going to Ayrshire for but couldnt be bothered to ask.
