What was I stressed about? Or, Nicole takes the Life in the UK Test
Posted on September 28, 2007 @ 10:03 am

You get 45 minutes to answer 24 questions on a computer.

I went through and answered them all, went back and reviewed my answers, clicked finish and raised my hand. I had 40 minutes left to go.

I don’t know what my final score was but I really don’t think I missed more than one I am so sure how my answers.

You do need to read the book because there are questions like, What is the population of England? (50 million. Note that it is ENGLAND not the UK. Total UK population is higher.) Can you use Scottish currency in all of the UK or only in Scotland? (The whole UK) The majority of council’s budgets come from council tax that you pay or from governmant funding. (Government funding.)

But there are other questions that are beyond easy, like what area does the cockney dialect come from?

So that’s done!

What can I whinge about now?

I live in Scotland. You try changing Scottish banknotes in London!

Lillie Says:

A couple years ago a friend gave me a five pound note, left over from a trip to Scotland. I used it at a grocery store. The cashier gave me a hard time at first, but I told her I was a tourist, and a taxi driver had just given it to me. She finally accepted it, at the urging of the manager.

Cracks me up how it’s “whinge” in the UK and “whine” in the States.

Thomas Says:

Was at the pub tonight watching the Rugby- Scotland v Italy. There was a really drunk Scotish man at the bar and I heard him say to his mate refering to the publican, “I’m gonna wind him up. Give him a Scotish twenty note!”

Sounds like there are a few people that need to read the Life in UK book in London!

Hank Says:

Nice work! Congrats and welcome to blighty life.

Thomas Says:

Thanks Hank! I am almost there. Will be dropping all of my paperwork off at the lawyers and then they are sorting it.
