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

The naturalisation exam is deliberately filled with rote memorisation of absurd trivia as a way to catch people out and make it hard for them to pass. If you show it to Brits born there, almost none of them can do it.

@passenger @ryan I'm not even doing naturalization! I just want settlement

@whitequark @ryan

I want you to have settlement too. The Home Office wants to ensure that only people who can pass a weird fairytale riddle game can get it, for some reason.
