Life in the UK

Well, today was the day the Dunces went to take the UK Citizenship Test. I was planning to say a little bit more about it, but the terms & conditions forbid doing so. Something like "if you reveal the contents of the test, you will be automatically failed, drawn and quartered, broken on the wheel and dismembered, with your head placed on a pike near the city gates, and your body left for the crows". So I can only reveal the important details: we showed up, provided our £34 testing fee (each!), and sat down for the test: 24 multiple-choice questions, administered by computer, with a mere 45 minutes allowed. Five minutes later (literally) we were both finished, both with passing marks. It happened so quickly I didn't even think of asking whether I could bank the remaining minutes for future use. Next step: getting certified copies of our passports (we could submit our REAL passports but then our activities would be seriously curtailed for however many months the process requires).
