In reality, no one can fail the test, they just dont pass it, so its just taken again (£35 or thereabouts) untill a pass is achieved, load a rubish if you ask me.

I want to know who wrote this book they keep refering to! Sounds a great read!

What a load of pish!!
And to think that the tax payers money has been squandered on paying a fortune to “consultants” to come up with this rubbish
This just proves our current leaders need to be booted out of office. Not that there is a viable alternative mind you 🙄
-
A better way to do it would be…
if we make you a british subject, will you abide by our laws,
observe and join in with our traditions, pay all taxes that are required,
aquire any certificates that we require for you to work legally, and in all ways conform to our ideals and standards…..
SIGN HERE………………..

My thoughts as well Peter, I don’t mind people coming here as long as they respect our traditions and way just like they expect us to respect theirs.
An interesting point that my father-in-law told me (not sure how true it is) There are more British citizens leaving Britain than there are other nationals trying to get in, this was a about 3 years ago though.

I agree with this thought too, the trouble is I’ll have to learn Chinese or Arabic to be able to explain to my neighbours what aussie traditions are 🙄
It used to be ‘putting a prawn on the BBQ’ now thanks to Amercian TV ‘prawn’ has become ‘shrimp’. Aussie prawns are sold overseas and we have imported inferior prawns to eat here.
‘Chips’ have become ‘fries’
The ‘sunday roast’ has given way to ‘chinese takeaway’
A ‘pie’ has given way to a ‘kabab’
A ‘crusty bread roll’ is now a turkish something or other
A cold aussie ‘beer’ is becoming a ‘lager’
A good old aussie ‘Hamburger with the lot’ has given way to the McDonalds Aussie Burger
A ‘vodka and soda’ is becoming a ‘breezer’
A pub is becoming a tavern
An aussie pub is more likely changing to an irish pub
The old servo with a bowser is now a woolworths with a bowser and convenience store.
Even our traditional aussie companies – arnotts, campbell soup, queensland sugar, bundy rum – are all owned by overseas companies now.
Our theme parks are all owned by the americans
Our big motels are all owned by arabs or japanese
Not really sure that we have too many aussie traditions left 😥 😥

Now with this bird flu going about, they say there could be a
PANDEMIC….. Why can’t we just have a good old fashioned EPIDEMIC?
Where the ‘kinnel did Pandemic come from?

I guessed most of the answers and got 7 right, sheer fluke :lol1:
In this part of Wrexham 10 years ago there were no immigrants and now not many speak english, let alone welsh, most speak polish and all the new shops opening up are polish, so much for retaining the welsh way of life and language. -
i agree Jayne, i noticed that when i was down around aberystwyth this year, i dont speak welsh, well, extremely little, and can’t spell what i can say ! but the number of other languages i heard around the seaside towns was quite odd, not overpowering or owt but it’s the first year i’ve ever noticed it.
down here in sussex, we’re a little overcrowded, Hastings being a prime exmple of gov’t forethought, i can honestly say though, that other than one chinese family and, one indian family (takeaways) and a iranian girl i went to school with, i dont think there was a coloured or foreign family in the town until about 1990 when i was around 15/16. i remember it being quite odd when a black family bought a house up the end of our street, purely cos other than trips to london etc, i’d never seen them ‘in the flesh’, a pal who’d moved down from birmingham to here (ah.. ok, so there was a foreign family !) found it more odd that there were no coloured (how am i pc about how i say that ?)… ah…. non whites in the area.
i got 6 btw !

Always been curious as to the minority statement……when in some areas I definitely feel I am the minority.
Shane you summed it up mate…….
Shame we don’t have a viable politician in the UK to voice sensibly what a high proportion of people feel…..I know silly idea……lol -
I can see that it could be a good idea, this is not a new idea. Other countries have been doing this for years. Its just the questions dont seem apt!
The Canadian test asks things like:
Name the Governor-General of Canada
The Party in power federally is
other federal Opposition Parties and Leaders are
Name the province’s etc etcWhich seem more useful info than, what do you do if you spill a pint!
Or my test would be:
How much are 20 fags?
How much is a pint of beer?Far more important for every day life lol

You’re a right mixture Marek! Explains alot :lol1:
Half polish, half welsh and brought up in America :lol1:
Dont worry Im just as bad, half greek, half english and brought up in Merseyside :lol1: -
I live in a suburb that, 10 years ago had a fairly good mix of races, but in the last 5 years, we seem to have had an influx.
Our local shops is a good example.
The hardware store – australians
Sushi Shop – Japanese that speak little english
Donut Shop – Korean with very poor english
Deli – English
Bread Shop – Indonesian with poor english
Post Office – Indian with reasonable english
Newsagent – Chinese with poor english
Cafe – Chinese with very poor english
Kitchenware – Malaysian with very poor english
Video Shop – New Zealand
Photo Shop – Dutch with good english
Vege Shop – Italian reasonable englishWe have a retirement village opening up the road that is for japanese only. Even the signs are in japanese.
I don’t have a problem with these people in truth, but I think one of the basis rules that emigrating should entail, would be to at least be able to hold your own in a conversation in the local dialect.
We have a suburb up the road that is sooooo asian, if you don’t speak chinese, you find it hard to buy anything.
I did a job at a suburb 5 minutes from here, and dad and I were the only australians in the area we were working. Up the ladder, all you could see were arabs and head scarfs.
Out theme parks here have all had to change their timetables to accommodate the muslim prayer times. They have had to install prayer rooms too.
A mate of mine got the sack from a 7/11 store because the Muslim owners caught him eating a pork sandwich for his lunch.
I don’t think if we went to their country, they would change their drinking or lifestyle laws to accommodate us.
Rant over now.
I’m off to work now to do a quote for a Muslim, Kiwi, Indian and a Moroccan.

😮 Na steve, it didn’t get to the tribunal because my mate punched him out, broke his nose. Ended up being charged with assault.
The tribunal would not have sided with my mate anyway, as it would have been deemed a provocative act (eating pork in front of a muslim), and the tribunal would not have got involved from what I have been told.
