I never did post the answers, did I? Here we go! 1. True 2. 1973 3. The four countries combined it's 8%, or England 9%, Scotland 2%, Wales 2%, and Northern Ireland 1% 4. ~75% call themselves Christians, but of those only 15% attend church. 5. 10% are Catholic UK-wide, but that number is 40% in Northern Ireland. And yes, the fact that there were so many statistics in the book just goes to show you what happens when you let civil servants design things. LOL Congrats, AnEnglishMum... this means you get to stay! You did fairly well! Ooops! I never did post the answers, did I?

I passed the test! So just waiting for one more piece of paper to arrive in the mail before I can send off my citizenship application. I should be officially Scottish by the end of the year! Yay! (Oh and a second note to Jock... I would have given you credit if you had been anywhere close on some of those percentages. LOL.) Oh by the way… I passed the test!
