Perhaps we are not as British as we think...
 
An interesting little questionaire here. It shocked me to discover I only scored eleven, still that qualifies me for a seat in Parliament, apparently?

Lets see how some of the rest of our members manage.

Yippie, I can have a seat on the district council.

I got nine. Didn't realise that the dog licence was abolished.

I got 10 correct too! Not sure whether to be chuffed or offended!

I got 12.

I got the question right, but I didn't realise that there was a minimum time you had to be married to get divorced.

My mother got an annulment after 9 months married

It certainly is a tricky one, maybe if we had read the handbook......
