I wondered the same thing, intriguing!

They try to keep the English and Welsh form similar. The Welsh one asks a question about Welsh language.

Haven't opened mine yet, so no idea what you're on about!

QueeferSutherland · 07/03/2011 22:16

It's about Wales.

See the other thread about Scottish highers in AIBU.

MN is a mine of knowledge I tells ya.

on the welsh form its a question about speaking welsh, on the english form its blank as they dont ask that question

I was wondering that today, as I quickly flicked through it.

Did they have some question they decided was too impertinent at the last minute?

Is it a secret question you unlock by getting all the others right?

Oh - I know! it's to weed out all those pesky fake Jedi believers from last time. If you answer 'Jedi' to the religion question, they phone you up and ask you to use The Force to answer question 17....

But I'm English, living in England, and I speak Welsh.
I want Question 17!

There has been much merryment in our house tonight while suggesting ideas for what Q17 might be.

Bit disapointed in the real answer but thank you. How do they know I'm not welsh, I might have wanted to answer a welsh question.

Me too TeamLemon. No Fair.

I wondered why they didn't want to know if Welsh speakers lived in England. Would be interesting to see whether they live in clusters, or an even spread. I know quite a few welsh speakers living in England.

Havent got mine yet so dont know what it looks like...

I reckon you should write in the gap that you speak Welsh :)
They might think you did use the force... Grin
