After the huge faff of getting my OH a visa for France, I was having a quick look at what we'd need to do to get him a UK passport, (he's South African)
We have to buy him a book on "Life in the UK" and he has to sit a test.
I was looking at the questions and although some are really obvious to me some aren't!
How would you do?
Migration to Britain
* Where have migrants come from in the past and why? What sort of work have they done?
The changing role of women
* Do women have equal rights in voting, education and work, and has this always been the case?
Children, family and young people
* Do many children live in single parent families or step-families?
* When do children take tests at school? How many go on to higher education?
* What are the minimum ages for buying alcohol and tobacco? What drugs are illegal?
Population
* How many people live in the countries of the UK?
* What is the census and how is census data collected and used?
* How many people belong to an ethnic minority and which are the largest minority groups? Where are there large ethnic communities?
The regions of Britain
* Where are Geordie, Cockney and Scouse dialects spoken?
* What languages other than English are spoken in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales?
Religion and tolerance
* How many people say they have a religion and how many attend religious services? What are the largest religious groups?
* What is the Church of England and who is its head? What are the main Christian groups?
Customs and traditions
* What sports and sporting events are popular in the UK?
* Do people tend to live in the cities or in the country?
* What and when are the Patron Saints' Days of the four countries of the UK? What are bank holidays?
* What and when are the main Christian festivals? What other traditional days are celebrated?
