BBC UK Citizenship test

We could all club together and start an independent state!

11/12.
I got the first one wrong.

Same here, half mine were guesses though. 😂

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Poems and Beowulf that very few UK people know I’d say. First Indian coffee house. Really common knowledge amongst Brits? Got 10/12

Poems and Beowulf that very few UK people know I’d say.

I thought everyone was an expert on the sagas now they’ve watched Vikings and grown a Covid beard?

4.....That was lucky 😁 🇩🇰

9 for me and perhaps I may add that the education i've had only began after I left school also This quiz in my opinion complete and utter Bxxxxx increased my education somewhat!

 

[welsh dragon]

Well. I did better than I thought I would. Quite a few were guesses but I passed.

Thank God i have an EU passport and a passport from a commonwealth country as well.

8/12 bizarre questions!

 

[swee'pea99]

Surely the only correct answer to that is 'who'?

I wonder if as many as 1% of British citizens would even recognise the name Sake Dean Mahomet. I rather doubt it.

Mr WD got 9 out of 12. Seems funny that i scored higher than he did and im not British at all.

Might be a better state than the mess we are in now!

 

[chriswoody]

Well I scraped through on 9!

Certainly the questions are more random than the German one, I managed 22 out of 25 on that one.

I find it crazy that the cost of citizenship is so high in Britian, In Germany you pay €255 for the Citizenship itself. I think I payed about €500 in total for every part of my German one and that includes re-siting part of my B1 language test, (Grammer was never my strong point!)

 

[Drago]

Or welsh.

Particularly if youre hoping to settle in Inverness.

 

[raleighnut]

I only got 8, maybe I should start packing

8 out of 12 so I failed and to be honest, I couldn't care less as I have no intention of applying for British Citizenship. Also, the word citizenship is wrong really because you have a monarch in the UK, so you are all subjects to the Queen.
On the other hand, I am a citizen to my own country because we have a Republic.

A citizen is a legally recognised subject or national of a state or commonwealth. Ergo, regardless of the democratic system - or otherwise - we are citizens.

France is indeed a republic. Sometimes it's even ruled from Paris instead of Berlin.
