why do i need to know this for settlement
you can't be fucking serious
who gives a fuck
who. gives. a. fuck.
@whitequark Is this, like, something every Brit knows as a piece of useless trivia? Like how San Francisco is 49 square miles and they made that into the geo-cultural identity of the city?
@ryan @whitequark absolutely not. I have lived here all my life, I'm 38, and I could not have answered any of these. the tests are such bullshit designed to reject as many people as possible through bizarre trivia.
@gsuberland @ryan don't forget about charging exorbitant per-attempt fees
@whitequark @gsuberland @ryan Wait until you get to the point where they deduct an £N,000 fee and also check your accounts to make sure you have £N,000 laying about — IN THAT ORDER.

@spacehobo @gsuberland @ryan HAHAHAHA wow

I've definitely... encountered... the tendency of the UK government to charge you exorbitant fees to do fuckin anything it's supposed to be doing, but I have thankfully avoided that specific issue
