A little Saturday morning distraction


Jolly good, wot! Anyone for tennis? That’ll be ten ponies, guv. You’re the epitome of everything that is english. Yey 🙂 Hoist that Union Jack!

How British are you? a quiz by alanna

Now, of course, we critique the questions;

Question 1 is, of course, a picture of the clock tower at the palace of Westminster (sometimes known as the houses of parliament). Big Ben is actually the bell which rings to mark the hour, and isn’t visible.

Question 3, according to the magna carta, its actually Parliament who runs the country. The Prime Minister is the leader of the party in government.

Question 8, the most popular food in Britain, according to a recent survey (which I can’t find online – damn) is chinese food. Its just overtaken the venerable curry. So I’ll let this one slip.

Apart from that, quite a spiffing quiz, what.

  1. 100%, Naturally.

    I was a little disapointed in the test, though. The 1st question was just plain wrong – Big Ben is the *bell*, not the clock *or* the tower.

  2. Simon, read the bleeding post. Crikey, some of one’s countrymen are too fixated on images of the Queen and are ignoring one’s purple prose.
