Hey I have married 2 so far (delete the "so far" coz that's my bag limit)

By sheer good fortune my kids are blond

everything they say about gingers is true

everything they say about blonds is true

Hope that isn't too follically pigmentalist

I'm neither of those, so it's fine with me.

Considering you need to know how many people are in the Welsh Assembly to be considered integrated into British society that's not so far fetched

I find it quite amazing that they need you to know this, who knows that? I tried looking for a list of questions online but apparently you must buy a book to study for the test? I assume your wife got that horrible mess resolved in the end? I can't believe they suggested she should need to leave the country. It reminds me of the new rules. My only option is to leave the US with my newborn child and somehow look after him without my husband, and find a job for 6 months that pays the required amount. My husband would miss out on his own child growing up. The lack of respect for family life is really disgusting.

That wasn't Trompe's wife - mainly because Trompe is a she.

She pulled that text from a comment on the story she linked to.

I think a much better fact would be about bonfire night and WHEN the effigy on the bonfire changed from the Pope to Guy Fawkes...

Those sorts of facts reveal changes in societal attitudes rather than how many people sit in the Welsh Assembly, which has no cultural 'meaning' and no more relevance to understanding the host community than learning how many otters still remain in Norfolk

Here's some sample questions - historians of the middle ages should pass with flying colors

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/blog/quiz/2012/jul/05/uk-citizenship-test

I would prefer questions along the lines of

1. Who is Phil Mitchell

2. Who do you support when England play Germany (the correct answer will depend on the country of residence)

3. What will the weather be like on a bank holiday

Yanky wife didn't know what I meant when I said "half as much again". The percentage representing this should be a question

Also a translation of "taluv" which was said to her in every shop in Leeds !

Though I passed (just), all the ones I missed were indeed medieval history ones. ####### -- we're supposed to know all carpenters were home-grown back then?

I'm going with Trompe's questions.

Q What time does to pub shut on bank holiday

A October

[Rebecca Jo 1,962]

So........today is the day the Coalition shuts it doors to about 48 percent of British citizens who would like to sponsor a non-EEA spouse.

A sad day that the people who invented the NHS should contract a case of callousness

[Usui Takumi 1,562]

Its officially law now?

[Boiler 44,860]

I did the test on the Guardian web site, all the questions I asked fell into the Pub Quiz level of general knowledge.
