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?

Considering it involves a big pile of Londony things to do, then it indeed sounds like a govt. test as they think nowhere else exists :D Stupid Olympics ruining the plans for a giant Manchester tram network to run right by my house.

Also: Standing under awning outside shop during rain shower, looking up at the sky and pursing lips to say "Ooh, it's coming in from the west, that"

True indeed. I bet they even have holiday beaches in Scotland.
