How English am I?

[fajrdrako]

If you count genetics, I'm 50% English... since my Papa was born in Leicester.

You are 82% English.

You are either native and stupid, or you are foreign and knowledgeable.

"And did those feet
In ancient times,
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
In England's pleasant pastures seen?"

Well, no, but it's a cracking good tune.

How English are you?
Create a Quiz

Actually, I probably should have done better. I lived in England for a whole year. As a student. Mind you, I spent most of my time in the 12th century, but that's no excuse to make misakes. I never did learn to say 'lift' instead of 'elevator'.

I score the lowest!!! LOL I don't know of any English ancestry. German, Danish, Portugese, Native American, Jewish, Dutch, that is about what I know.

Note, last year they broadcasted the "are you realy Dutch quiz?"on television (in reaction to the demand that imigrants take courses in becoming integrated in Dutch society). anyway, don't know how much I scored, but was below 50% as well. I guess I am just not good at belonging.

If they ever had a programme about "how Canadian are you" I suspect I'd get a low score too.

The thing is, wijsgeer, we are really international in scope. No one nationality can contain us.

If there were a "how Torontonian are you" quiz, everybody would pass.

LOL.

I have it on good authority that Toronto is the centre of the world, the fulcrum, as it were, around which all reality revolves.

Navel of the Universe. Or Left Ear. Or something.
