In this day and age that is a bad thing.

It said "this result essentially means nothing" and I agree.

I was thinking it's about time we re-partitioned India. We could try a N/S split rather than E/W and see if that works out better?

10/10, how could anyone who is British get any wrong? Those of you with 9/10 should report yourselves to the HM Border Force for immediate deportation. 😀

The whole process is automatic, they trace the IP and send out a hit squad....

How am I supposed to know what sporting events were held in "that London" several years ago? I'm a Northerner.

There are technical innovations that you poor Northerners can lease from the South, like newspapers and televisions.

Stonehenge for me. I don’t care where the ancient god damned hippies kept their rocks. Can we choose where we get deported to? 🙂

And my utter lack of interest in the Monarchy meant I got the Queen one wrong. The question would have been easier for me had it asked 'Who was the original bassist for the band Queen'?

Because they are not very intelligent I guess. Should probably get a large set of British people to answer and get a baseline score as I would guess it would be lower than 75%.

10/10.

I'd hope any real test of Britishness would be more about a person's character rather than their suitability to appear on The Chase.

No idea how long Mrs Windsor had been living on benefits. Should I expect a knock on the door from Farage and some brown shirts now?

9/10 due to the fact I know nothing & take little interest in sporting events. Except NHL & the Stanley cup.

10/10 for me....although I did hesitate on the jury age.

10/ Amazed not universal. Even the sporting one smothered our telly for months. Rest is stuff from primary school except possibly jury service one and surely that was secondary school?

10/10 but the British flag is the Union Flag, not the Union Jack. The Union Jack is the flag [b]and pole[/b] as found in naval ships.

Wasn't the question what it is usually called, in which case most people call it the union jack. If another option was union flag that question would have become harder for most.

Solid 10. Now if it had said on what day does St Andrew's day fall...?

Where's the European test for the null hypothesis?

Now try the REAL UK Questions... Not so easy

Well, you guess wrong.
I haven’t looked, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I got some wrong, and I was born here.
There are things that I pay very little attention to, though.

Surely the very act of testing your Britishness is really saying 'I'm not some johnny foreigner type'? 🙂

Why would you feel compelled to test it otherwise?

The only question should be what's the golden rule of life? The correct answer being don't be a dick.*

*Unless your answer is exceptionally funny.

You can't cos Europe isn't a country, its a continent that the UK is part of.

Pick a country in Europe. Not Britain though obs.
