Apparently anyone applying for a passport (or for indefinite leave to stay in the country) has to pass the "Life in the UK" test.....can you pass?

Aye Ian,

What's the magic number to remain then? ??? Good enough quiz, but infuriating lack of an answer.

Baker's dozen.

My regards, Bill.

OMG ..I only got 11/20.....I think its time for me to leave too. Yes some of the answers are a bit "obscure" to say the least. Apparently Cameron has said the questions "need looking at" . I cant see the point of some of them anyhow. But this just goes to show what a joke anything this country tries to do turns out to be. IMHO

I've packed my bags and I'm leaving home as I am evidently too stupid to stay here (11/20). How relevant is the date that women got the right to divorce their husband? Bah humbug.

I suppose they struggled as they didn't want to let people know what the place is really like. On one day at work and the susequent night out on expenses during a factory move one of my Polish colleagues discovered:

1. The notation "BFT" on a drawing refers to a torque setting resulting from the use of a ten foot bar.
2. "A wee dram" with a Glaswegian before heading to the hotel room results in not getting any dinner.
3. When delivering a tray of drinks to the "ladies" of the assembly team, 15 pints of Snake Bite, 6 vodka chasers and a packet of crisps between seven of them doesn't mean the barman made a mistake (although the crisps should have been salt and vinegar not cheese and onion). Protective clothing should however be worn in a lower regions if you are a 24 year old footballer.
4. One does not enquire/view the contents of a Pea and Ham Batch if one is hungry and wants something to soak up alchohol. Say yes to sauce.
5. You will not be sacked if you and the MD are asked to leave the hotel bar at 3 am, you will probably be promoted if you can remember it.

Arek had seen pictures of Buck house if course not the back end of Coventry. You can't really ask them "What flavour crisps go best with Snakebite and black? can you.
