Can you pass a citizenship test?

The government has published Life in the United Kingdom, a 150-page book for prospective British citizens. If you want the passport, you`ll have to read the book and then answer 24 questions drawn from its contents. So let`s see how well you do...

11/15 - `a seat in parliament`
A couple of those are debatable -but if I had read the guide I suppose I could have recognised the answers.

I got 6 :/ Some of the questions are a bit `iffy` though, aren`t they? (i.e the PG question :/ )

I quite like the Helpdesk people in a benevolent (as opposed to malevolent) way as they do some valuable work in preventing us being inundated by every halfwit who can work a phone.

I failed it, but I just used the back door method to get here..... come here to work from Oz, marry a UK citizen, have children, pay UK taxes, council tax, get a bulldog and a cat.

So now I have failed the test, can I go back to the Sunny county of my Birth, leave the wife and kids, get a new sheila and sit round the barbbie with a six pack of Fosters, hmmmh, nice :D

Opps, shes lookin over my shouder, being hit on the head with a frying pan... battered husband :(

Sorry dear.
