Hey! I learned some good tips on Pub edicate in the UK with this test . Instead of buying a new bottle of beer, I put "offer the drinker a new shirt" ...I would do that to...probably promptly get punched in the face after though.
. Instead of buying a new bottle of beer, I put "offer the drinker a new shirt" ...I would do that to...probably promptly get punched in the face after though.I did the test before they withdrew the question about what the mains voltage needed to be in order to be British (it was phrased kind of awkwardly like that).
I chose 220, but they wanted 240 for the "correct" answer. As far as I know it's 230V +- a reasonably wide margin, which would include the 220V used elsewhere and the 240V which was the traditional UK voltage is probably still common. So the minimum, as per the wording of the question, should be 220V.
I presume they've withdraw the question after someone pointed out the mistake... I hope any official test is a little better researched.
I only got one wrong apart from that (the first one, as I've never actually read their book), so I suppose I'm allowed to keep being British.

Are you sure? I'd say that was particularly indicative of the society in which we live right now - with not much else!london-boy said:

My guess would be the whole "Marriage is an undertaking not entered into lightly" thingy. The breakdown of society and so on, having time to figure out if the 'union' can possibly be saved. Sweden is the most relaxed country I know of when it comes to this, though. If you're childless and your wife agrees you can probably get married and divorced the same day there (otherwise six months). The most common practice (in Western Europe) seems to be that you're required to a period of mandatory legal separation - while still remaining legally married - for a year. No exception. It’s a bit archaic.Humus said:
