Right, have figured out the problem, when you click in the link at the end of the address there is the word test, just delete that and it will take you to the page :)

Thanks for alerting me UosdwisjewoY - boy that's a mouthful :o)

11/15, but I was kinda guessing. Got the one about solicitors right - YAY!

Maybe I did a different test if your test had less questions Daks!

[scubadiver]

10/14. I suppose they'll let me stay!!

[{Dakota}]

I meant to put 15 - my head's in a bin tonight :s

Still, I am to get a seat on the local council - yay - I'll soon kick their behinds into shape :D

[mimififi]

only 8 ;-( THought i knew more than that, Still, I live abroad alot as a child!

Also, I have always thought Father christmas came from lapland, now the gov are trying to tell me they've always said he comes from the North Pole. I don't know anything about that......I feel like the foundation of my life has been shaken to its core......I need a drink!

Cool test though Daks.

11, not bad for pure guesswork. What do I know about dog licences and Father Christmas?

[magentared]

10! Quite tricky though, most of it I guessed.

[january_bug]

I do object to the dog licence question... I got that wrong too. I have 2 (maybe 3, but I think one died) fish, and a tortoise. You don't need a licence for either of them, and given that none of them is likely to run off when we take it for a walk round the park, the tag on the collar is a little OTT I feel. So that whole question was just stupid.

Two questions on Xmas was a bit skewed too! :-(

I know I know... only a poor workman,..... (but I've not done badly in the score rankings have i!?!)

[VINNY100_2]

12...(but it looks like ive got a fight in the car park(:)and when i get arrested,I must remember to ask how much the soliciter charges!!(:)

[loopey]

i'm ashamed i got 7 please still talk to me!!!!!

[Ward-Minter]

13/14 am i the winner???

PS Father Christmas comes from LAPLAND in my book NOT bloody North Pole!!!!!!

Therefore full marks for the Ward-Minter.

[THECORBYLOON]

I got 11/14. It's good to know that as long as they're cheap, Solicitors don't need to be qualified..........I'll be charging �25 an hour OK?

[mimififi]

Thank-you ward-minter:

I knew Father Christmas came from lap Land really. The test is just spreading malicious gossip trying to undermine the only person on the earth who is more powerful than any politician alive. Trying to say he comes from the North-flippin'pole instead. Honestly, Perleaasse! Everyone knows that elves can't live in the North Pole, and what pulls his reindeer? Polar friggin'bears. No, No, No, reindeer come from Lapland, and so therefore, so does the big F.C.

Phew, thanks for that W-M. I thought maybe I was the only one who was bothered.

[mullein3]

i got 8 ..they are quite hard really..i am sure a lot of immigrants will fail it unless they study the questions before taking it...i guess i will be deported now...

[the>one]

7......gets coat.....

[SteveD]

I got 13. What's the pass mark?

[january_bug]

TCL - you do realise that �25/hr is an absolute bargain.... my boss charges more than that per UNIT (I'll check at work today and let you know)!! A top london lawyer would charge ten times what you suggested. I agree with your point though, although it's fair to say that lawyers dont' really qualify in certain areas of law - it's a general qualification. Although checking that they're qualified at all might still be a good start!!!

PS - Anyone who thinks Father Christmas is from Lapland probably also calls him Santa. Lapland is an American suggestion I think.

Don't ask why but I just got nine!! I failed on the saint's day. What an odd quiz though - what are those pub questions all about?
