Back in Soton..
and going to sleep! No, not really connected..
From someone else's LJ.. this "British" citizenship test thing. If it had a practical session, what would it involve?
I came up in 5 seconds with: "Eating picnics outside on freezing cold beaches in force 8 gales while not choking on the sand, eating cockles and mussels, singing Cockney songs round the piano in an "East end pub" TM, and watching cricket without being driven to eating the dog out of boredom."
And, of course, enjoying a nice cup of tea.
Any more?
