    8/14 without reading that book in question.

    Can I say I care much for 'national saints' days to be honest. Nor would most British people I daresay.

    Only 7 here... the answer to:
    And finally, what does Life in the UK tell you it is "very important" to do when engaging a solicitor?

    is stupid... very, very stupid.

    I got 8.

    The whole concept is stupid though, I doubt most of the British Population would get those right.

    The Scots and Welsh most certainly do.

    Renzo: of course they wouldn't.

    People have the gall to say that the BBC are unbaised. They couldn't have made their agenda any more abundantly clear.

    I don't see it... :confused:

    The only thing I see is one or two very mild cheek-in-tongue humorous comments. Hardly a blatant bias of any kind.

    I think it's very important to get a solicitor to explain his charges beforehand. Lying cheating greedy scumbags that they are.

    They should've included builders and plumbers to the list of people you should ask for a quote first... another typical British fact of life: cowboy builders.

    Ahem. No we're not.

    The charges aren't hard to grasp. And if you don't like paying £300 for conveyancing do it yourself;)

    Well, thats not exactally what i'd call a citizenship test. Needs alot more :p

    " What or who is PG (again, according to the guide)?

    A: One of the brand names for the national British drink, tea "

    I think that is the OBVIOUS correct answer.

    I'm not actually a solicitor, but I do do a lot of work in the Crown Court working with barristers and such like.

    I work in Criminal.

    The corporate lot are thieves, but then they thieve corporations, so its not so bad really.
