  I’ve spent a total of two weeks in the UK (not counting layovers) and I got 88%

  I don’t say this to brag, just to illustrate that the test MIGHT not be quite fit for purpose 😄

  I’m still going to have to take over your citizenship, though, them’s the rules 🤷🏻

    I’ll handover my citizenship if you can pass British Isles test:

    1. Brown condiment that goes on toast
    2. Popular Irish Beverage
    3. Welsh actor that lives in the US
    4. Ambiguously gay duo
    5. Mixes well with milk but only in the UK

      1. HP Sauce (Marmite is a brown condiment that goes in the bin . Why, yes, Marmite is a bit “Marmite”.)
      2. Vodka & Red Bull. At least that was what was being served at every house party last time I was in Dublin.
      3. Catherine Zeta-Jones
      4. His Majesty the Francis of Boyle
      5. Thems two wor were on Byker Grove, like, mahn
      6. Chocolate Hobnobs

      1. Marmite 2. Guinness 3. Michael Sheen? First Welsh actor that comes to mind. I think Christian Bale was born in Wales but considers himself to be English. 4. Frankie Boyle if I remember correctly 5. Ant and Dec? I think they’re both married to women, I don’t know 6. Tea

      1. Marmite! 2. This has to be Guiness 3. I had to look Rhys up but I don’t know his work. I went with Michael Sheen, who I do adore. Dang it. 4. This has to be Frankie Boyle. 5. …Michael Sheen and David Tennant? Please be what you were going for, I’m straight, but I love those two together! 6. Tea! … Ribena? (I know it’s not Ribena). I think Nestle makes a banana powder for milk? We have chocolate and strawberry in the US I probably failed. :( but it was fun. I’m a huge panelshow fan, so anything I got might be blamed on that :) Forgive me if my reply is annoying, as a USian, I like hanging out in spaces like this, but I try to be respectful. But I had to reply to this one :)
