I (just) passed the Scottish Citizenship test posted by Tom Mc Rae</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><</span><a style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" href="mailto:t.mcrae@uq.net.au">
t.mcrae@uq.net.au</a><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">> (my husband did slightly better).</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I have a different answer for 6 _ in a Scottish fish and chip shop you</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
can get fish suppers, or haggis suppers, or deep fried mars bars or pies</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">that look as if they are made from cardboard, but taste slightly better,
</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">with a gob of something that you guess may once have been a sheep</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">inside.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Oddly enough, fish and chip shops in England sell fish and chips (no</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">meal qualifier) and pies. Which taste worse than Scottish pies look.
</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Not sure if that qualifies for the ten points, or not.

<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Husband quibbled over the cathederals question: he says that it _was_ a</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">cathedral, which is why it's now in the care of Historic Scotland. But</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
his advanced knowledge of drinking in Scotland meant that he is much</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">more qualified than I am.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
