Yay! I passed with 13/15 (I missed the medieval workers and English law in Wales).

I'll have my new passport with fish and chips, please!

I think that, in addition to the test, there are exclusions for certain types.

I got 10 out of 15 correct. I didn't bother checking to see which questions I got wrong because I'm a US Citizen. Thank you very much. Thanks for the quiz.

Could you pass on British history?

Of course I could. And I'm sure countless of my British cousins have just as little interest in the subject, too. So is this, like, supposed to be a trick question, or something?

(I suppose it's not too hard to guess that I took the test. Let's just say I'm going to be poorer by 50 quid.)

I got 10 of 15 too. Thought I'd do better, cause I love history.

BTW, aren't youse UK folks 'subjects'?

We're both 'subjects' and 'citizens'.

Well, that's all very convenient.

Yes it is.

I did not do well. Sprague is clearly Germanic and rhymes with Hague but the earliest records of my ancestors with that last name are from Whales. Hopefully I can blame it on my schooling and not some hereditary aversion to English domination.

That's not a recipe for proper spotted dick. The photo says it all - that would be rejected, or maybe even not recognised, by any British schoolkid since time immemorial. That looks more like a roly-poly, only with currants instead of jam. To be spotted dick, it needs to be ... well ... spotted.

Here's a better recipe. This one's proper.

There should be an essay question. Please explain your desire to be forever tied to those horrid British comedies on public TV.
