No surprises there,

Especially seeing as I have an English mother and Welsh father - and by blood i'm half English and half Scottish.

(let's see the newbies try and work that one out - those who know keep it quiet ok)

UK = United Kingdom(?)s of Great Britain and Northern Ireland = England +Scotland + Wales + Northern Ireland.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct.

With enough practice you can sound British but do you really understand what you are saying?

Just thinking: Isn't Big Ben the tower of the House of Parliament which is belongs to Westminster, i. e. a part of London? It's not the belfrey of Westminster Abbey.

[Dauphin]

Big Ben is the bell in the "Tower of Westminster" which is actually called St Stephens Tower.

I don't understand, according to this quiz, everybody should be either British or American. What about us, the natives?

[Zulu Elephant]

Well technically both answers are wrong.

If you're talking about the whole bell thing, then thats what I meant

[Dauphin]

axi, you are Anglo-American.

Are all Brits either really nutty American women or whiny nerds? That's all that's coming out of this poll.

Touché! I knew it perfectly well.

Anyway, those questions really don't seem to work.

20) How many states are there in the USA?A) Two, euphoric or depressed.B) 50

It's too obvious which one gives you lower percentage score, but I still answered 50 because that's the true answer. There should at least a few more options to make it at least abit more complicated.

40) Is there a decent Indian restaurant within a mile of your house?A) Yes, the 'Tandori House'.B) What is a curry?

This one was tricky because I do have 2 Indian restaurants within that distance from my home, but none of them is a Tandori House. So I chose yes, but it's still not correct.
