I'm not cynical (Much) just speaking from experience. :doh:

Post by: Biggles on December 12, 2016, 02:19:28 PM: How does this determine if you are good enough to be a British citizen? I have a reasonable British education and only scored 18 as an English national! :scratch:

Post by: Fergus OMore on December 13, 2016, 05:47:36 AM: Somewhere as a shite RAF corporal in 1949, I was issued with a book called 'The British Way and Purpose'.
Basically it answered a lot of the so called questions. Ironically, it still seems to be available today.

Probably Prince Harry nailed it- as other Prince Harrys did centuries before- bring back National Service!

One thing that us old farts seem to agree is the old Colchester Military Detention barracks seemed to cure about 98% of the wrong doers. I went once as escort which was enough for me.

Post by: Manxmodder on December 13, 2016, 07:52:33 PM: I got 60%. I'd probably fail,but I'm not sure I would want to live in a country that asks such daft questions as part of a citizenship test, anyway.....OZ.

Post by: AdeV on December 13, 2016, 08:12:36 PM: Hmm, 16/20. I should probably have paid more attention in history classes... God I hated all that King Tarquin the Mumbleteenth/Queen Henry the VIIIIIth stuff.
