Oh, it's three years this month since I did my exam and I still remember the horror. There were questions in there on the NHS that even I had to really think about, and my job at the time was writing about NHS services for the NHS.

I swear though that the people sitting either side of me were doing their Life in the UK test in other European languages. Have things changed or I was likely just still delirious from the tail end of the swine flu I had at the time? I must be wrong.

Which reminds of the Australian Dictation Test (http://museumvictoria.com.au/customshouse/customs_history/dictation.asp) which was still used up to the 1960s.
