Are you British enough?

[Siz]

42% British,
35% Canadian
Guess I'm not welcome anywhere.

Still, it's nice to know that idiots like me aren't being let into the country!

+1 for the BBC. One of the few value-for-money taxes in this country.

[Too Few Lions]

12/24 not great given I'm British! Stiill, most of the questions weren't about anything I'm interested in.

[DeterminedJuliet]

38% British   Fucking stupid test!
50% Canadian! 

one of us! one of us!

I was also totally baffled by the "Television License" question. WTH!

Ahh, the joys of TV and Radio without adverts...

Haha, I knew about the television license because I love The Young Ones and there is an episode where Vyvyan eats the "telly" because they haven't got a license and the television inspector was there (are there really television inspectors?)  Hahahahahahahaha, he was all "It's a toaster." when she asked if he had eaten the "telly" because he had a cord hanging out of his mouth.

I love that show.

I think my love of British shows from the 80's should automatically add a couple of points to my "Are you British enough" score.

67%  Kick me out now.

There sure are. Basically they have records of everyone who has a TV license (which should be +/- every household, right?!). They then systematically send lots of threatening letters to the errant addresses and follow them up (eventually) with personal visits. Of course, unless you actually let them in (which you're within your rights to refuse) and SEE your TV there's not a lot they can do to prove you need a license. It seems fairly easy to avoid paying it, but if you are caught (e.g by having the TV visible from a front window) it's a big fine. Not really worth the worry really.

We have 100ish channels at home and we end up on BBC for 90% of our viewing time.

Or you could just eat your telly when the inspector shows up.

7/24 guessed on all of them.

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

Totally agree. I cant even really think of any good science shows that weren't funded by the BBC, with the only exception I can think of being the Japanese program SCIENCE ZERO.

[En_Route]

Being Irish, I deliberately got all the answers wrong.

[Reprobate]

38% Bitish and 70% Canadian. It helps that a lot of the Canadian questions are closely related to US history. Do I get bonus points for speaking French?

Anglia television "Survival" is the only one that comes to mind.

[The Magic Pudding]

I still have to get around to watching The Ascent of Man again, Bronowski is such a cool character.

9/24.
But norwegians don't move to England. When we go there it is to plunder and pillage!
