    Well I tried it Loopy Lou and failed it.
    I think the test is ridiculous and not sure what it's supposed to prove.
    I think the only way most people would pass it is by swatting up in the handbook.
    All that would prove is that you're good at swatting up.

    What rubbish questions!

    Although I got them all correct and in under 3 minutes 5 of my answers were guesswork.

    I happen to know most of the answers because of some of the work I used to do but I can't see how relevant they are to citizenship. :scratch:

    Actually, I can't see how a lot of them are relevant to anything except to answering obscure and ridiculous questions. I just happen to be a mine of useless information :hehe: :lollol:

    Mmmmm, yeah I didn't get many right, mostly seemed to be aimed at how to go about gaining info on finding jobs, or useless and pointless history aimed at catching you out.

    I really think the one on prescription charges has got to be the best trick question, 18 or under:D
    And I thought a quango was a wrestler in the 60s:lollol:

    Hi music,

    :lollol::lollol::lollol:

    As with a lot of things, if you know the answer, it's easy :) so the time doesn't really mean much.

    lol - glad you had a go at it

    the question is - what sort of new citizens will we get with these ridiculous tests?

    the mind boggles

    Is this going to be carried on if any party get in in May? Most of us know that there are 'coaching schools', you just have to know who to know!

    I was going to carry on here, have a lot of opinion but not much fact behind it and it seems no-one can tell me! I really can't be bothered so I'm one of those apathetic people that make this country worse - oh flip, what to do??? I love this country.

    cheers
