Can't be bothered looking at it, I'll wait for the Accyweb spokeperson on immigration and integration to tell us we should have open borders because all immigrants work harder than us, therefore rendering the test racist :)

Yolanda aren't you from Spain? I thought if you were from an EU country you could move quite freely through the member states, which is why we also have a number of other european immigrants.

I have noticed many people from the Latvia/Romania areas too aswell as Polish people, so I assumed it still stood that it was quite simple to immigrate to other member states.

I may be wrong, I started EU law only last week and I cant get the hang of it, and I dont really know anything about politics and things, but this may be the reason you didn't have to take a test.

1. annulment is different than divorce
2. britney was in america

I dont know the answer to the father christmas one because I didn't think St Nicolas was from any of those answers, I thought he was from Finland or Norway or somewhere like that (please dont laugh if one of the answers IS in those places)

I dont think this is an official test though, because its ridiculous.

I know plenty of people that dont collar their dogs aswell.

That was one of the ones I disputed - the Father Christmas one. (Lapland is 'Finland or Norway or somewhere like that')

Well I didn't think he was officially from Lapland though. What reason did you have for disputing it?

Strange that you'd even have to answer a question about a saints nationality, i know we celebrate xmas here but that ones pushing it a bit.

I don't know the divorce one, or which would be right for the father christmas one as they're all wrong... I guess that means I'm not 'british' enough.

Victory is mine :p

But it isn't about a Saint's nationality. If it had said Santa Clause you may have had a point as the name Santa Clause is derived from and the character is based on St Nicholas who was indeed a rel person and from Smyrna.

But Father Christmas although used interchangeably with Santa Clause these days is actually based on a much older and pagan guy and by tradition is based at the North Pole - however there are so many kids trips to visit him in Lapland these days that it could be argued that most British kids would say that was where he lived. In fact according to Wikipedia it's the Americans who reckon he lives at the North Pole!

As for PG I reckon most Brits would plump for 'tea' rather than 'parental guidance'.
:D

Or youcould take it a step further and say that the fat man in red and white we refer to as santa claus originates from Coca Cola, but it would be getting a little bit too finicky about it wouldnt it.

The main point is that there is no way that is a serious test. What newspaper is this reported in again?
