This test is utter bullshit. I'm English born and bred and got 18, and quite a few of those were educated guesses! My "English" schooling included specialist study in the Israel / Palestine conflict and World War II. WTF do I know about who built the tower of london... I've never been! Who authors this stuff?!

I only got 12 on one of the other one's, d'oh.
Why weren't there any questions about the World Cup Final in '66 or historical figures like George Formby ?
The nearest I've ever been to London is Wembley and I've no intention of ever going nearer

The sandwich toaster fella is the oldest heavyweight champion ever and the oldest living ex heavyweight champion.
T'other one is the only man ever to win both the Derby and the TT.

True. When the powers that be brought in such a "civic values" test for Australian citizenship, there was a bit of controversy when one of the questions was about Sir Donald Bradman and another was about Walter Lindrum. Unless you follow cricket or billiards respectively and you're of a particular age group, you would be unlikely to know the answer. It wasn't surprising that the test included a question about Don Bradman as the Australian prime minister at the time, John Howard, was a cricket tragic. Does it make someone a "bad Australian" if they didn't know the answer? Of course not. These tests are incredibly subjective and are often biased towards a particular cultural group.

Yes. Me too - I also failed recently after a friend had to do the same test.

What a silly test.
