No one here in Oz actually drinks Fosters….we keep the good stuff for ourselves and export the shit…..having said that we can’t find any takers for XXXX beer, so we make the Queenslanders drink it!
It’s called XXXX because Queenslanders can’t spell beer!
::stirthepot::😁
It’s a lot like Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Nobody bought that album, yet 70 million copies were sold.

Seriously no Aussies drink the shit, only tourists….. as for that or any other of Michael Jackson’s records I never bought them either, couldn’t stand the talentless squeaky little prick!

God, I wish everyone thought the same, then we wouldn't have such a problem with boats arriving on a daily basis.
Besides we have far to many aussies here already
You need a pretty serious boat to get to Australia.

I got a 10 -- not bad for someone who only grew up on Monty Python, black adder, and doctor who.

Go steal a sheep -- free transportation to Australia will be laid on for you!

Our citizen test should involve a fridge full of Fosters, and any other Aussie beer ( other than XXXX ) and ask the applicant to get a beer, those who select Fosters, get an fail and immediate deportation!

Come to think of it we could have a similar test for insanity involving XXXX instead of Fosters!
🤨🤮::stirthepot::😁

Surprised one of those three weren't in the questions. More British than Roses!

Born and bred in the UK, English father, Scots mother, Irish grandfather and a Welsh surname.
Only got 18 though.

As a Northerner I feel the questions are too Londoncentric and there are too many questions re the royal family for my Republic views. They're my excuses anyhoo.

Those Fosters cans are tiny.
They’d be the old 13 fl oz cane @ 370ml standard size cans here in Oz, remember this is a hot country and we don’t drink warm beer, so bigger cans woul warm up to easy…….
Bloody Fosters is undrinkable cold let alone warm, no self respecting Aussie would be caught dead drinking that shit anyway….we leave it for all you Johnny foreigners

Back in the day, when we were in international waters, our beer ration was a 26oz/750ml can of Fosters per day.
Issued by the "ship's police", the all steel cans were pierced with a huge can punch so you couldn't hoard empty cans.
It was shit, but it was cold and wet, and it was the only option.

In port, Tiger, San Miguel and even Bud tasted like the nectar of the Gods after Fosters for three weeks.

Well, maybe not Bud.

16 correct answers, after having emigrated to England nearly 15 years ago. Not that impressed with myself tbh.

Fun test. 22 out of 24 on my first go. Not bad for an Aussie whose only real connection to the UK is watching English Premier League football matches. Having said that, I'm a bit of a history buff and I've visited the UK a couple of times so that may have helped.

What's the excuse for my poor showing then 😁

Born and raised in England and I got 19 out of 24. Some of the questions are batshit crazy; “what’s not a fundamental principle of British life - driving a car”!? The other answers were, looking after your family, being fair to other people and looking after the environment.
Lost on me.

So, I consider myself an expert on British culture having watched both Fawlty Towers and all of Monty Python, both Flying Circus and the movies. I only got 11/24 though and learned that there’s a sub-country called Wales that exists in the process, which I’m guessing is somewhere in the English Channel.

I am fit to live in the UK (barely).
Must be my upbringing in grey rainy middle Europe.

You get a demerit as a knowledgeable beer drinker, that " huge can punch" is properly known as a Church key.::stirthepot::

Oh no, don't let the Welsh or Scottish hear you saying their countries are part of England 🤦

That's like lumping Canada and the States in together or Australia and New Zealand ::stirthepot::
