Are you worthy of living in this country?!

[Will66]

The vikings that came here were predominantly Danish... ...so my Swedish wife informed me!




:Giggle

In Denmark the beer is really pricey, but it\'s a bit warmer than Sweden.

Personally I would have thought it would have been better for the Romans or the Germans to rule over this country. Things would have been more efficient and technology would have been more advanced.
 
And if the Romans still ruled it would have made religion more appealling to me as they had a god for everything, no one should claim to have as much power as what the one god people belive in these days

Well the Romans wittled their gods down to pretty much just the one by the time they left our shores - I\'m guessing it was just too cold for them which is why they didn\'t stay - oh plus Rome got sacked...
 
As for the Germans - we probably have more in common with them than any of our other European counterparts - but that would never do... :Nono!

That\'s because a guy called jebus came about. I still think multiple gods is far more believable than one.

Yes were all probably related to those damn pesky Vikings, what with all the raping and pillaging they did. Evil buggers they were. But hey, they had multiple gods too.

Oddly, the English have more in common with our perceived enemies than a lot of our perceived allies.  Last two World Wars we\'ve been covering the French, who we spent the previous millennium having an on-off barney with almost constantly whilst warring with the Germans with whom we share royalty and who are a great bunch of chaps, once you get past the awkward silences about the war and the sense of humour differences, they have one but it\'s very different from the British one.  The Russians, enemies from the Cold War, again are a great bunch, they like a drink, are very funny and again we shared royalty.  The Americans, our special friends, are actually very different from us.

Funny the way the world works!

I always wanted to be able to speak Russian. The accent and the dialect is amazingly aggressive. Sounds like they\'re always angry. Even the women do too.

French...........I tried to learn it at school. Let\'s just say we didn\'t get along too well.

no way only got 10! and im british! surely they could have made up questions that actually meant something instead of all that nonsensical jibberish!

[dthebuk]

Ask not Are you worthy of living in this country, but is this country worthy of me-I\'ve been thinking for a while

this.

I\'m not proud of being british at all

[B.Martin]

It\'s only when you move to a different country to live that you appreciate what Britain has that many countries don\'t. Not just crap weather either :p

A massive score of 10 for me!

[Aceman]

14 for me..

Although I say 15, as the question about only going to hospital with a GP note unless an emergency is wrong. I went with a note from my dentist (who is clearly not a GP!)..

[gsb876]

There are also other incorrect questions. The immigration test states  that on average women are paid 20% lower wages than men (which with  equality acts would be illegal), and at least one other, I think two  others are outdated and now incorrect as well. o.0

I\'m afraid the wages one is correct (don\'t know if the percentage has changed) but women are still paid less on average. Obviously the minimum wage etc is the same and they will argue that there are less women in the top jobs - which is true.

Interesting, so if you all had one question you could add to the test, what would that be?

I shall have a think on mine
