tony13579 Posted 13 October, 2011 Share Posted 13 October, 2011 I am far too intelligent to do this test. I know I don't need to know these facts. The questions should be on British laws and day to day customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsaint Posted 13 October, 2011 Share Posted 13 October, 2011 The questions should be on British laws and day to day customs. This. I thought the Halloween question was the closest to this, although Halloween isn't a UK holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petersfield Saint Posted 13 October, 2011 Share Posted 13 October, 2011 Yeah, right. We all believe you. How far back does your family history go then Dune? Pre Norman invasion? Any Irish or Hugenot blood? No ancestor ever married 'out'? No great-uncle you've forgotten? Because if not, you are just about the only true Englishman here. Oh no, hang on, what about those pesky foreign Romans, Saxons and Vikings? Or are you pure Celt? All Angle? It's a very rare person indeed who has no immigrant/foreign blood anywhere in the past few generations of their family .. the only real variation is how recent. The Celts originate from Austria and the Angles from Germany/Denmark I was going to say this! Of course if Dune wants to dig far enough back he'll probably find he's of African descent...

Jimmy_D Posted 13 October, 2011 Share Posted 13 October, 2011 This. I thought the Halloween question was the closest to this, although Halloween isn't a UK holiday! Actually, although it's mainly an American holiday now, it originally came from Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suhari Posted 16 October, 2011 Share Posted 16 October, 2011 Its a **** test with no relevance to living in the UK. Added to this is the fact that not all people seeking residency need to take it: if your English is not good enough then you can do a 9 week course (1.5 hours a week), which includes assessments (basic listening and speaking). At the end of the course you get an official government certificate to include in your ILR application. Which means you can have **** English skills but still get residency.

Itchen_block4 Posted 16 October, 2011 Share Posted 16 October, 2011 A fairly average 15 for me without google. Stupid questions though, more questions about political culture, popular culture and convention would be more appropriate. These fiddly details arew things that no-one would expect the average person to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuengirola Saint Posted 19 October, 2011 Share Posted 19 October, 2011 I'm sorry but I'm quite frankly shocked at how many of you failed the test, and I say that knowing a few of you are quite switched on. Not being a swell head but I found it not the most challenging of tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
