    Life In The UK Test

    As everyone connected with this excellent site is aware, one of the compulsory requirements on the journey towards UK Citizenship, is for applicants to demonstrate a fundamental knowledge of the British lifestyle. And consequently, I'm delighted to announce that my dear wife, Myrna sat the examination in Dundee last Saturday forenoon and passed it. ... !

    Congratulations to Myrna, but also to you Arthur because I'm sure you have helped prepare her (and maybe paid the fee ? ...relatively cheap at 34 GBP including VAT at its present rate !)

    Life in the UK test ... if it's the same one i snooped on a few years ago in Brum (when i needed to use an internet cafe) ... it's dam hard ... like, many of the questions i couldn't answer ....

    i was born here and lived here for the better part of my life, yet, i would have probably failed it

    and i'm smart! lolz ... some thick people wouldn't even be able to be citizens of their own country if they needed to sit it!

    , Alan ... apart from my reviewing her, all the credit must go to Myrna herself - including payment of the fee - although I did take her to a Chinese Restaurant afterwards to celebrate!

    , James ... I'd have struggled with it too, I must admit; Myrna now knows more about OUR country' than I do!

    Though you do not write books, you are the writer of your life. Because everything depends on YOU.

    Congrats to Myrna for passing the citizenship test.. I haven't got mine just yet as I believe the fee goes up every year and i have no intention to do it yet until perhaps a year or so after a Philippine holiday this year. How much did you pay for the test? Please let me know as I have no idea...

    i have to renew my philippine passport for the time being, apply for my 2 kids' british passport, sorting out the return tickets arrrgh! of course not to forget pocket money.... too much thinking and i'm worrying a lot now.

    Again, congratulations to Myrna!
    Taka care now & Bye!.... Venus
