Lonan3 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 The UK Government has launched its 'Britishness' test for new citizenship applications. Anyone applying for British nationality must correctly answer 75 per cent of the 24 multiple-choice questions in the 'Life in the UK' exam, which includes topics such as regional accents and family breakdown. Since we seem to follow the UK's example on so many other things - why not a test of 'Manxness' for new citizens? One of their questions, for example, is 'What are MPs?' What kind of answers do you think we'd get to: 'What are MHKs?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I managed 9, missed out on HM's birthday and some were fortunate guesses. So I can now swop my Croatian passport for a British passport? Seems a bit daft to me, they are questions of general knowledge or current affairs and, Girl 89, you only scored low because you haven't been around for as long as us longer toothed inhabitees!
