    Could you pass the citizenship test?

    Apparantly not. I got 6

    But Shelly could you be English?

    Try these

    1. Who holds the ashes at present?
    2. What does Avyeradjeryertee? mean?
    3. But these nations in correct order of dreadfulness. Americans, French,Scots, Iranians
    4. Complete this line
    'If you can but keep your head when all about you are losing theirs . . . ' Pick one alternative

    a. You will be taller than everyone else
    b And blaming it on you
    c You obviously don't know what is happening.

    5. What is the distinguishing mark of an English gentleman?

    a. A stiff upper lip
    b playing a straigh bat
    c A polite tolerance to our American cousins

    Anything over 20% and you qualify

  2. 1. Who holds the ashes at present?
    I don't know what this means.

    2. What does Avyeradjeryertee? mean?
    I don't know what this is, either.

    3. But these nations in correct order of dreadfulness. Americans, French, Scots, Iranians
    hmmmm.... I'd say they're all equal.

    4. Complete this line
    'If you can but keep your head when all about you are losing theirs . . . ' Pick one alternative

    c You obviously don't know what is happening.

    Well actually you didn't get any right but

    We want you anyway :-)

    oh the answers are

    1. The Australians hold the Ashes at present. They are a cricketing trophy played for every four years between England and Australia.

    2. This a greeting given by any Englishman to another if he arrives unexpectedly.

    It loosely translates as

    Have you had your tea yet?

    3. Close but no cigar. The French are the most dreadful the rest are about as bad as each other.

    4. As a librarian I know you will be familiar with Kipling and his most famous poem. I realise you were bluffing on this one just to make sure you didn't end up as English! It's done you no good we are accepting you.
