“You will be like uzzzzzz!”

July 7, 2009

Welcome to the United Kingdom! Do you want to assimilate? Do you want to find out more about life in this country? Life as it’s really lived?

Then take the Life in the United Kingdom Official Practice Citizenship Test!

It’s only the practice one, mind! Just a warm-up, in order to “find out whether you are ready to take the actual test”!

Go on, then. Have a go.

I was born in the UK, I’ve lived here all my life, and this test is as relevant to my experience of daily life as an IKEA stocktake. I failed it, but, then, it is cretinously abstruse (and, as such, a fitting introduction to a certain aspect of UK officialdom, I suppose).

I should do a withering pisstake, but thankfully Boz has done it for me (though I joined in in the Comments).

IN SUMMARY: There are 15 million children and young people up to the age of 19 in the UK. Let’s hear Katie Melua sing about that. No, actually, let’s not.
