Following on from the discussion [url= http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/make-bradford-british-channel-4-now ]here[/url], and the [url= http://www.channel4.com/programmes/make-bradford-british/articles/channel-4-citizenship-test ]Citizenship Test[/url], I thought it'd be a bit of Friday fun to come up with our own questions to more accurately ascertain 'Britishness.'

(Please try and avoid cynicism and sarcasm; I'm not looking for ascerbic swipes at how shite we are.)

How would you test for Citizenship? What essential knowledge would you expect from someone looking to integrate with society? What've we got?
