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?

Cricket is the second most popular sport in the world and as such the cricket thing isn't so much a test of whether you're British but more whether you're colonial.

Indeed - I've met more people abraod who loved cricket by far than here - in Oz it's compulsory.

Yes, although the last Test match against the West Indies was a corker, so that's good. The Australians have the right idea about sport, in some ways.

Quite. Otherwise Martin McGuinness would be more British than Paisley....
