Originally posted by AtWBollox. I'd say if some person from remote Pakistani village who came here on arranged married would know for sure things like in what order those Saint days should be or whether invitation for police interview is optional or not, then one may say this person is away of local things, and thus can be called naturalised. The fact that you need to read one book is irrelevant -- they had to be reasonable and compile all required knowledge into one book, this is done for driving tests and I'd say its more dangerous to give some retard a driving license for a car that can kill lots of people than give passport.
Its a good first move from NOTHING (no oath, no english test, no local knowldge test).

Originally posted by planetitOf course you did all realise that this isn't the actual test? Didn't you?
It's just a series of questions based on the text of a booklet which non of you have read. Just a test of someone’s ability to memorise the content of a booklet. Nothing to do with “Britishness”.

Perhaps more woman should be in IT after all now that it's conclusive that we're the most capable sex

Originally posted by AtWIt may sound funny but a number of foreigners who became British citizens do not even speak English - heck, some of them rarely live their house futher than few cornershops.
The key to the issue is that its naturalisation -- and I can't see how person who is supposedly naturalised can't speak or read local language and know key things about the country.

I can't be confident I'd pass the testIt's a tough testThis is a tough test. I would be curious to know the percentage of british folk that get more than 10.

I almost scored 10 -- I made 2 mistakes that (if I was in real test) I would have put more time thinking and answered right, which would still be below 75%.
