So the goverment wants prospective UK citizens to take a “Britishness test” to prove they know all about life in the UK…
How well would you do if you took the test? Try it HERE

Some pretty strange questions. Some I had to guess. I got 12 of 14. How’s anyone supposed to know number 2; the proportion of native-born English to Scots & Welsh?
Stupid questions. So much for being a “Britishness” test. It doesn’t even cover all the British nations or the correct number of national saints in question 5. There’s 5, NOT 4.

Non British, and I got 9. That means I’d better get a lottery ticket, because 90% of the questions were wild guesses 😀

When you’ve completed the test and get the score if you scroll down you’ll see which ones you got right or wrong…

Dumb questions with several right answers…I got 6…I’ll get my coat…any country out there want me?!!!!

Interesting – and I’m fairly confident one of their answers is wrong or at least ambiguous.
They say the age of majority was lowered to 18 in 1969. Possibly that’s when the law or whatever was passed but a mate of mine was 18 on 31/12/69 but wasn’t an adult until the following day.

Britishness? I’m not British anymore I am English, out with the Union Flag & in the St.George X 🙂

I personally think it’s a load of Horlicks, who is paying the £35 per head to sit the test and what happens to those that fail. My own views are not printable on this forum.
