It's not a good quiz. Question 9 "Which of these phrases is generally only heard in the British Isles?"

I grew up very familiar with "bob's your uncle" on the other side of the world, including a TV joke with punchline "snip, snip and Bob's your aunt".

I've never heard "stand on your head and cut corks". Or is that just a phrase they made up for the quiz, as google doesn't know it either?

How reliable are the rest of the questions?
