That was not a knowledge on being British but how well you read some book.
I doubt that for instance many people would have gotten that Saint's day question on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'!
Oh, and 8 correct including some guesswork.

America. Love the country, its history, its geography, its people, its government at its founding, its founders.
Because of these things I'm very disappointed with its present state. EDIT: For kicks I did the brit citizenship test. I got a 6. Probably just a random fluctuation above the average score from pure guessing. Edited by Equality 7-2521 - August 26 2008 at 18:26 |

Port is a Portuguese export... although they were set-up by Brits, of course. Like some distant cousins of mine, the Fladgates. |

Oh, I also like to discuss the Battle of Trafalgar over a nice glass of port.  |

I'd be surprised if Lorely 'MP For Solihull' Burt knew the answers to more than 6 of them.

Same (spoiler also follows): I am also to young to know anything about divorce laws and I thought Father Christmas (who doesn't actually exist) is from Lapland... that's what I always thought. I also thought The Victorians were a big part of the history of that legend too. And yes, a price of a lawyer wouldn't be as important to me, to be fair. Edited by James - August 25 2008 at 16:24 |

That test is silly though. How they ever thought up some of those questions, is beyond me.

yeah (spoiler follows, knowing what PG Tips was detracted from my score. I assumed that you'd need a lawyer to be competent rather than double-check the pricetag, but that's probably not the right one. The marriage question, well, I'm too young to need to know.

Speaking of Nationality, could us true Brits be able to pass a Citizenship Test?

I like my country. I was born here and still haven't ventured outside its borders. Hawaii is as close as I've gotten so far and I do so want to move there, but here I am stuck in Georgia. But hey, the Atlanta area is a pretty cool place to be if you must live here. The coastal portion of the state is nice. Can't say I love my country and quite frankly do get embarrassed about some of the actions our leaders have done.
