I think knowing that you shouldn't ask anybody smaller than you to step outside for a fight in the car park is enough to get along with Mr. and Miss Chav.
        I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

          I've been in England for the last 27 years, give or take a couple of 3/4 year breaks, and I still only got 9.

          This is a tough test. I would be curious to know the percentage of british folk that get more than 10. It would probably be less than 50%.

          I've always thought Santa comes from Lapland, not the North Pole.
          Maybe there's no Santa at all?? Shocking.

                I scored 13, but that was a mixture of guessing and answering tongue in cheek (turned out to be right!). Without reading the book I can't be confident I'd pass the test and I'm as English as the next Plantagenet.

                  I almost scored 10 -- I made 2 mistakes that (if I was in real test) I would have put more time thinking and answered right, which would still be below 75%.
