I did damn well considering I guessed at most of them:

"You got 11/18 questions correct
You're going to have to do much better than that to get your UK passport."
No more beans!

I got 8/18 David!   :-\

How's that for a wretched result?   ::)

Pathetic!   :'(

Kerry, the only reason I got 12 of them correct is because I have been listening to Alex talk about England. If it wasn't for him, I'm sure my score would have been much lower.

It's difficult to know many of those answers without actually living over there.  :)

You got 14/18 questions correct

What What WHAAAAAT??

Citizen's Advice Bureau my arse! The Dog & Duck down the road gives far superior advice! Seriously though, whatever the question, there's always someone down the local who knows bout it... or did it... or knows someone who knows someone whose cousin did it... ;)
Will you stop playing with that radio of yours, I'm trying to get to sleep!

The pub on the corner of my street is called The Victoria, built during the reign of Queen Victoria. It's a wonderfully atmospheric inner-city pub here in Sydney, that serves the best counter lunch and icy cold beer. And yes, Saucy & David, it's a great place to catch up on the latest gossip!  ;D

Tsk, tsk... one does not serve beer icy cold! ::) That, dear boy (and the rest of the world, who also always get it wrong), is what we call lager. Beer and ale should be served at room temperature with a head on it!  ;)
