[faceless]

I got about 3 or 4 correct...

I've never felt British in the slightest though

I also only scored 4. I'm British and proud, and now also confused.

I haven't lived in the country for 11 years though and wouldn't go back (unless the pay was incredible). I like the history, climate, services, travel, opportunities and general lifestyle better in mainland Europe. Come to think of it, sod the British.

i got a few good guesses right, no matter, it's bullshit .. would hate to have to do the same thing for any sort of status confirmation.

Here's a longer test - but even with the knowledge from the questions above, I still only got 67% and failed... haha

But it seems I'm not alone; currently of all the people who've taken the test, 1465 passed, while 34633 have failed.

lol in the second one I got 29% i guess they will not let me in .....

[SquareEyes]

Me neither, but on the bright-side, to paraphrase... I'd never be a member of a club that would have me as a member.

I got four out of 13 with some luck on me side.
Will have to psyche up to sit the Longer version.
