      It's perfectly normal that you should not like football, drink beer, and not go to the Lake district for some.

      I was rubbish :( I like the idea that the test is hard but wonder what percentage of the current population would pass?

        If the government used a stupid test like that only the people that like reading history would be left on our island :heehee:. At least the ones that remained (just a few thousand of us) wouldn't have any problems with traffic on the road.

          Well, I got 12, failing on .... which king defeated the Vikings (how on earth did I manage to get that one wrong? :ouch1:); when the English imposed their laws on Wales; and got my 'teas' mixed up by answering No. 13 as India, Pakistan and Assam - of course, if I'd read the question properly, I'd have realised that the correct option, Ceylon, was even written there for me, in the brackets! Doh!

          I got 10, with a couple of guesses.
          I suspect if this was an actual test they would sell you a book for around a tenner with a selection of all the questions you are likely to be asked.
          You then just have to revise before taking the test, simple.

          I thought Q no 8 was a bit cryptic, kind of asking what didn't happen?
