Hi,
I scored a pathetic 4 out of 15.
But like many of you, most of the questions are pretty irrelevant to living and being a "good" British Citizen in the 21st Century - whatever constitutes being a "good" citizen, actually is.
Is knowing what NATO stands for, really going to help anyone coming into the UK, in any way, shape or form?! No, it isn't.
What they should be asking, are practical things like:
- What are the opening hours for most businesses on a Sunday?
- Is a £50 Pound Sterling note legal tender, and can a shop refuse to accept it?
- What constitutes valid ID, for verifying your age in places like pubs, nightclubs and cinemas?
- What do the initials CAB stand for, and who are they?
- Can an adult over the age of 18 take someone under the age of 18, into an 18 certificate film at a cinema?
- If you are paid something by BACS, how will you receive the money?
- How long does a cheque take to clear, from the date you deposit it into a bank account?
- Where would you buy a TV Licence from?
I'm sure there are a shedload of other slightly-more-important questions than knowing who introduced the NHS and what NATO refers to, that AVF members can come up with.
I do have to wonder what planet these politicians and creators of the Citizenship Test live on, because their questions are just so irrelevant, that it is almost pointless.
Pooch
