Guest prescience Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Might've seen this on the news; I got 6 and narrowly escaped being put on a plane at Heathrow Potential citizens get the guide and an opportunity to study it, but the test below is 'blind' http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4099770.stm How does mugging up on what clearly a cr*p publication and then answering questions based solely on that constitute being suitable to be a citizen Quote
Ian Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 I got 6 aswell, mainly throught pure guess work. Some of the questions asked are rediculous though Quote
Dan Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 I got 8. The question about spilling someone's pint was tricky, I would expect to get slapped Quote
jonathan73 Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Got 9 How the **** am I supposed to know how many Scots there are! I did know a Cop can't drag my ass to the police station without due cause though Quote
sinbad Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 If this is the same book i think it is, it was written by a guy at my works. Got 7 anyway. 112 is the european emergency number. Quote
lomoto Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 11...... got wrong the one about solicitors and I always thought Father Christmas came from Lapland (or was that pole dancers ) Quote

Zedrush Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 I got 8, this is ridiculous this country is becoming a joke, reminds me of spin the wheel. England is the laughing stock of europe Quote
Stew Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 How the **** am I supposed to know how many Scots there are! I know how many English there are..... Quote
alscar Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Blimey.. I got eleven right!! Lots of head scratching involved though!! Quote
monkfish Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 How the **** am I supposed to know how many Scots there are I thought the population ratio question was the only relevant question in the whole test!! My 6 year old niece could tell you approximately how many English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish there are in the UK. Unfortunately, the other 3 nations of our great alliance don't matter to some. However, I doubt she'd know her rights if she got arrested for fighting in the pub or indeed the protocol for spilling someone's pint. Quote
ir_fuel Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 You got 11 right! 0-5: Seat in Heathrow arrivals.... 6-10: Seat on the district council......11-13: Seat in Parliament.....14: Seat on the throne And I'm from Belgium. Quote
AndyC Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 I'm quite proud to say I got 6 in what is quite frankly a bull***t test. How on earth can we admit people into the country based on this crap? What a joke. Especially given that they've also got all the reading material first. Yeah offer to buy someone another pint, oh but pick you teeth up as you get up off the floor first. I wonder what the tests are in say France, Germany, Italy, Spain, hell anywhere - I bet they're a damn sight harder than that. And I also bet that the test is offered in any number of languages - thats something else that grates me Its wonderful to see that the government spends my taxes in such a great way. Quote
rmmackfc Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 7... I'm currently being deported to some tax free haven Quote
