"Respect laws, the elected political structures, traditional values of mutual tolerance and respect for rights and mutual concern."
Respect elected political structures?
Fuck off.

RIGHT: 3, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14
WRONG: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 15
I think #10 was a trick question, and I have no idea how I got #11 wrong!

I got 9...but some of those, who cares about the order of the saints...and father x-mas? and PG...that's both, a brand name and cinema certification...bit dodgy those questions...
And Q11...that's dodgy, UK use's 220 volts now...240V is maximum though...
And how much a solicitor charges most important? I'd have thought asking if they were qualified in the area of law would be the first question...

I thought the same about the solicitor question too - it wouldn't be a lot of good finding a cheap solicitor to defend you on a charge of dangerous driving if he only specialised in divorce.

I managed to squeak by with 3 or 4 incorrect ~ PG Tips was my answer- WRONG!
I flunked on the 220V also, but I sense that was a trick question; the saint's I had all backwards ~ my excuse: theology's not my bag and I missed the last one ~ what's the point in checking how much the solicitor charges, they're all too expensive anyway! I think, all in all, not all that shabby for having been gone so long.
