The British History test

[Noodley]

Just dismiss us all why don't you.

I do.

I managed to score 12 but 3 or 4 of my answers were guesses.

I like the idea of people moving to a new country trying to learn a bit about the culture, learn the language and trying to 'fit in' unlike (for example) many ex-pat Brits who live on the Costas in Spain and never learn a word of Spanish, or make any Spanish friends. I think it is a bit odd, however, to expect immigrants to the UK to pass a test that most of the native population couldn't!

12.... how do I know which tradespeople didn't come from Europe in the 14th century?

11

As usual, mostly English. Pointless.

It has to be mostly English because Scottish history is taught only in Scotland, except William Wallace and Robert the Bruce and therefore only Scots would be eligible to be British if Scottish history was included.

Yet another reason for us Scots to feel sorry for those living south of the Border.

Not only do most English-based people not get proper geography lessons (just listen to the News, Weather forecasts etc, where it's: 'In Devon, a man ...; in Lincoln ...; in Scotland ... ), they also don't get British history lessons.

Mind you, they also don't get as much rain

12 (ha ha, beat you srw!) and would have been 13 if I hadn't changed one guess!

That's anywhere the other side of Harthill.

What about the Welsh bit then?

That was a rare bit.
