Are you British enough?

[Crow]

I just found this on the Channel 4 website and thought it was quite amusing. Its a citizenship test based off the official "life in the UK" test which is required for British citizenship. I'm not sure if it will work with people that aren't in the UK but hey just give it a go.

I was accepted at 88% correct.

Wow, I totally flunked that one.  I didn't realize how little I knew about being in the UK!

I did, however, get 18/20 in this: How Canadian are you, eh? quiz.

42%.  I suck at being British.

6/24.  Oops!

Only 30%, or 6/20.  That's embarrassing, Canada is right next door!

Damn! I had no idea what half of those questions were except for the obvious ones. I got 6 out of 20.

9/24, it's not my fault I failed, British society is counter intuitive.
I did bet heavily on the lower-left options.

[Dobermonster]

80% on the Canadian test (phew . . . that's not embarassing, right?)

25% on the British test (that one is).

And wtf is a 'television license'?

One of the many I took a wild guess at.  I was wondering if it was a trick questions.

No its not a trick, the fee is supposed to be for the BBC I think.
Why they just don't scrap it and raise the rate of another tax I don't know.  I can imagine reasons but they don't seem valid to me, maybe when only rich people had TVs it would have been fair.

If you watch TV broadcast be it on a TV, computer, smart phone, or tablet devise you pay a license fee (£145 there about and changes dependent upon certain circumstances) it funds the BBC TV, radio and internet content. I don't really mind paying for it as the BBC has generally good content however there are many people that hate it.

Wait, there's countries without a tv license?!

Over the years the science and natural history output has almost been worth the license fee all on it's own.
