Perhaps we are not as British as we think...

An interesting little questionaire here. It shocked me to discover I only scored eleven, still that qualifies me for a seat in Parliament, apparently?

Lets see how some of the rest of our members manage.

I got 12.

I got the question right, but I didn't realise that there was a minimum time you had to be married to get divorced.

My mother got an annulment after 9 months married
