7/24 marginally better than just choosing 'A' for everything. Which I did once in a Physics exam and managed to get 14%!

The criteria for being a citizen based on this test seems to be 'do you know a lot us useless shite?'.

12/24; there may have been quite a lot of lucky guesswork involved though!

8/24   33%

And I'm the most English person I know!

Why do I need to know about the percentage of people who live in Scotland, or what percentage are Muslim? And apparently there are 4 Bank Holidays in Britain? That's blatently not true!

11/24 ... though I had to lie to get past "where do you live". Lots of guesses after that. Surely Britishness should be about knowing Churchill's wartime speeches by heart and/or blubbing uncontrollably at any mention of Lady Di?  ::)

I also told a fib, have been in UK a grand total 4 days of my life. 14/24.

I put eight too but does it work out as four bank holidays & four religious days?

And anyway isn't it different in Scotland even? They take Jan 2nd too which makes it nine.

8/33%

We have the worst quality of life in western europe, with a horribly corrupt political system being a major cause. One study showed social mobility is no better than in medieval times. I'm proud to not be British. Pity the passport disagrees.
