BBC UK Citizenship test

[Donger]

I've been quite busy being British for nearly 60 years now, and I still only scored 10. And I guessed a couple.

12 out of 12 but one complete guess and one semi-educated guess. Bit of an odd selection of questions IMO

How would you all have done had they not been multiple choice questions?
My score would have been just 3/12.

I suppose I'm too old to be adopted by a nice Welsh or Scottish family At 56.

10...

12/12. One was guesswork, but a bit of logical deduction - not easy before breakfast kn a Sunday!- saw me through.

With a score like that I should be at least an Earl, possibly even a Duke.

Im a little suspicious though. The Beeb don't specifocally claim that the quetions are from the Biritish citizenship test, only that they are a "sample of questions."

How about..

7 out of 12 and some were just a guess. I do not regard myself as British anyway and most of the questions seemed to be about England.

11/12

Unexpectedly, 12/12. I put it down to echoes of a long distant Grammar school education and a process of elimination. Also watching such things as QI! It seemed to be more about obscure general knowledge than Britishness. Fortunately I am a bit of a sponge for obscure and potentially useless facts. If many of the questions had been about sport, I would have been truly scuppered.

10. I fell at the curry house and Byron fences.

Surely the only correct answer to that is 'who'?

I wonder if as many as 1% of British citizens would even recognise the name Sake Dean Mahomet. I rather doubt it.

I did, probably from a cookery programme somewhere along the line.

It's a bit like watching TV quiz shows - they’re all easy to win if you’re lucky enough to know the answers.

10/12. Much more betterer than the Weekly News Quiz (@Dec66 )
