'Life in the UK test' not sure if it's a quite a 'gratitude' thing yet... but I'll be taking this test Tues 10.30am.Perhaps the point of thanksgiving here is in the fact that, suddenly, I have found it useful to be an early modern historian: the online practice tests keep coming up with huguenots as an answer to a migration question. Nothing like a bit of random knowledge to throw at folks. Bet most Brits don't know which group of immigrants arrived in the UK in the 17th c. due to religious persecution....!!! Why does one need to know this, I ask myself?!
Watch this space for pass or fail result.... I swear the percentage questions regarding what percentage of Brits are N. Irish/ or Scottish/ or Welsh/ or English will come up, as will the how many constituencies are there in the UK... and how many MSP's are there / where would one find an MSP? [127, and they're all at the pub, presumably?]

I knew the Huguenots (as did my hubbie) but neither of us know how many constituencies there are in the Uk or how many MSPs (and actually we don't care much)... hope the test goes well, am sure you will put us people who live here by accident of birth (me) or marriage (him indoors who migrated from England) to shame :-)
