The Paul Sinha`s Real British Citizenship Test: What You Really Need to Know to be a UK Citizen
Since 2005, well over one million prospective immigrants have attempted to cement permanent residency in the UK by taking the Home Office-devised `Life in the UK` test. With questions such as `What is the name of the admiral who died in a sea battle in 1805 and has a monument in Trafalgar Square, London?`, it`s as dull as ditchwater and a hopelessly inadequate preparation for life as a fully functioning Brit. After all, there`s simply no point in knowing the exact span of the Hundred Years War if you don`t know about Alan Sugar, Nando`s, the rise of UKIP and the dangers of ordering half a pint. In this hilarious yet factual guide to the ins and outs of British life, popular stand-up comedian, ITV quiz show villain and fiercely proud Brit Paul Sinha guides you through the minefield. With sections on how to negotiate a pub, the joys of chicken tikka masala (and other British non-British dishes), the finer points of football fandom, British cities that hate each other, whether anyone really cares about religion, and – of course – how to behave in a queue, this chortlesome book is all you need if you want to call yourself a British citizen, whether you were born here or not.
