UK citizen test- would you qualify??

10. Like the ambulance question, 112 to make it easy for foreigners who may not know it's 999. If you are a british citizen then you should bloody well know it's 99 bloody 9!

Except 999 doesn't route from most mobile phones, or if it does, routes to Central London, adding serious delays in getting you even to the proper regional dispatacher.

112 always works off a mobile, and should you get the correct region based on cell information. Should, but not always...

What a shit test.

10/14. I'm a quater Italian which must surely explain the 25% of questions i got wrong.

I was sure the pub one was 'you may have to prepare for a fight in the carpark'

13! Only one I got wrong was Father Christmas - didn't agree with ANY of the options. I see that urban myth about Coca-Cola changing Santa's color to red to match their logo is still going around.

Got the one about the Saints day wrong.

I got those right because when I was at St Nicholas Junior school in Portslade the houses were the four saints.Blue St Andrews, Green St Patrick, Yellow St David and red St George.
I was in St Andrews and we had a party on the saints day. Nov 30th was a great day.

13! Only one I got wrong was Father Christmas - didn't agree with ANY of the options. I see that urban myth about Coca-Cola changing Santa's color to red to match their logo is still going around.

Santa Claus was depicted in many countries over many years as wearing various unspecified shades of red (as well as many other colours) long before 1931, but illustrator Haddon Sundblom used Coca-Cola's corporate colours on behalf of that company to define (or rather, re-define) Santa's image for their advertising purposes.

Of course, neither Sundblom nor Coca-Cola 'invented' him, which is what the 'urban myth' de-bunkers tell us, but then no-one was seriously claiming that.
