I drink a ten cup pitcher of tea a day, strong and sweet. Plain old black poke. I don't know all the words to the anthem, used to fake it in grade school. Anybody can burn the flag as far as I'm concerened. It's just a rag, the repulicans get upset about that though, and will put you in jail. I don't get football, although, if I had got to see more of the last World Cup, I may have gotten hooked, I was begining to understand.

#7 Let's be honest, in a country where some college graduates can't find major nations on a map of the world, knowing any words to our own national anthem is a miracle (comic/chat-show host Jay Leno sometimes does "man on the street" interviews. These are quite depressing. People who handle money all day don't know which president is on which type of bill!)

Xentrick: It's just a car. But better motorcar than "au-to-mo-beels".
The UK includes GB and Northern Ireland and most small surrounding islands, eg.Skye, Orkney, Wight, etc. The Isle of Man has a funny arrangement where they seem to have semi-independence (most amusing!). The channel Islands, Falklands and other assorted bits & pieces are UK territorial possessions, but not actually in the UK. (Much cafuffle when residents ask for UK passports and the government responds by air-dropping vats of red tape.)

Oh, and I drew a little USA flag ona bit of paper about 4cm wide. And then I ripped it up cakling "Bwahahaha!". So I guess I'm now a wanted man! LOL!
And I'd arbitrarily set the score for qualification at 15, being kinda generous.
P.S. If you own Harrods, I'm afraid this offer of nationality does not apply to you.

The G in Mel G stands for Gulzar, but I have a UK, (sees Tony Blair giving him the evil eye) sorry EU passport anyway, so it won't make any difference to me.

*finally gets a chance to peek into this thread and read it over*
I should think more important things would be in the qualification for a UK passport. For instance the difference between biscuits/cookies, crips/potato chips, chips/fries, jumpers/sweaters, trainers/sneakers, hoovering/vacuuming, flat/apartment, tube/subway, tablets/aspirin etc.. If someone could describe how the Parlimentary system worked. If someone understands British humour and also finds it histerically funny. If someone has an irrational love of football/soccer (and doesn't find it irrational) If someone can convert from dollars to pounds, can use Brit currency without blinking an eye and understands what a "quid" is. If someone likes salt and vinegar crips. If someone likes bittermints. If someone can drink a really strong pint of lager, and knows the difference between lager, ale, stout, and bitter. and the list continues....
Or, in my case, when one can walk into a store, talk to the proprieter, and be MISTAKEN FOR A NATIVE. *grins* I think I have already won my passport. Thank you.
