Having--at least eight--British friends and a British-French girlfriend makes me feel like part of the club. We drink our PG tea, chuckling warmly while enjoying polite conversation about global politics. I call them "mate," excuse myself to the "loo," and just for the sake of clarity I will always offer a friend a "jumper" should they become cold. We discuss the plebs in the East End, the fashionable networkers of Shoreditch, the curries on Brick Lane, the beautiful houses of Chelsea, and the grimy-cool rock & roll heaven called Camden-town.
I feel pretty darn British already. So, in order to evaluate whether my claims of insider knowledge of Britain hold any water, I have taken a quiz to see how my--some might say vastly superior--understanding of London stacks up against the masses (http://www.funtrivia.com/playquiz/quiz393476918.html). Here are my scores (eek!):
You scored: 5 / 10
Total points: 50
The average score for this quiz: 8 / 10
Sad. I'll just be a glorified tourist after all. Oh well, after three months I'll try this darn thing again.
