How British are you????

[Gwenick]

just seen this

On the BBC - in order to pass the new test to become a British citizen you've got to answer 24 questions based on the information on in the "Life in the United Kingdom" book published by the government!!!!

I scored 8/15 "seat in the district council" in this test - how did you do??

Can't believe some of the crazy things they could get questioned about!!

10 for me

pmsl at some of the questions

good job I dont need to pass a test to live here then did know the saints day!! All taht Catholic ed has left me with the odd bit of knowledge

i got 11 right. i can become a brit in september, but i am not sure about doing tests etc.

10!

11 right - but going by some of the answers I would be fascinated to see what other info is in that book.

i got 12.. seat in parliament!

I got 8 and I was born and bred here!!! Am crap citizen obviously. I eat lots of fish and chips though so I have redeemed myself.

I got 6. I'm on the next plane out of here, I guess...

I got 12

8 too
shocking!

I can dance like Dick Van Dyke?

I got 11 right!!!!!

I got 8!!

im scottish so that prob explains why i scored so low lol

I got a ridiculous 6

m scottish so that prob explains why i scored so low lol

Excuses excuses - this is the "British" test - not the English test

bugger ok then its cos im blonde

I got 9, shouldn't be allowed to live here

I got nine, better send me back

Do you think they'll make all kids (regardless of nationality) sit this test before leaving school??? They'll have to really - could you imagine all these immigrant families kids knowing more about the UK than our kids !!!!

14 (smug emoticon)

To be fair, these are questions the BBC made up after reading the guide, not the official questions. I very much doubt most of these would ever be on the test paper...

I only got 9 out of 15!

The one that astonished me is the fact that dog licences were abolished in 1987! What?!

I got 13 - got the last 2 wrong
