British. Love that word, British! - The thin red line, Winston Churchill, Charge of the Light Brigade, The Queen- Gawd bless 'er. Sad really.
After living in this country for 15+ years, I decided to take the plunge and applied for British citizenship. .. And took the citizenship test last month. Feel more British than anyone I know now that I know how many members Welsh, English and Scottish parliaments or juries have or when Thatcher was first elected an MP or how old was Mary when she became a queen... Not to mention the kind of paintings produced by Turner or music composed by Vaughan Williams.
(5/100 college lecturers were able to pass this test)
Congratulations, Scheherazade! That must have been a hard test if only 5 out of 100 can pass it. Or maybe they don't realize they should prepare for it.
The test is hard but my point was that while the immigrants who are applying for citizenship are expected to know the answers to these questions, average (native) Brits wouldn't. .. As proven by the mock test given to the 100 better-than-average educated collage tutors. I sincerely doubt that my neighbors know when Magna Carta was signed or when women over 30 were given the right to vote.Quote:
