Paul Sinha's Real British Citizenship Test

Since 2005, well over one million prospective immigrants have attempted to cement permanent residency in the UK by taking the Home Office-devised 'Life in the UK' test. With questions such as 'What is the name of the admiral who died in a sea battle in 1805 and has a monument in Trafalgar Square, London?', it's as dull as ditchwater and a hopelessly inadequate preparation for life as a fully functioning Brit. After all, there's simply no point in knowing the exact span of the Hundred Years War if you don't know about Alan Sugar, Nando's, the rise of UKIP and the dangers of ordering half a pint.

In this funny yet factual guide to the ins and outs of British life, popular stand-up comedian, ITV quiz show villain and fiercely proud Brit Paul Sinha guides you through the minefield.

With sections on how to negotiate a pub, the joys of chicken tikka masala (and other British non-British dishes), the finer points of football fandom, British cities that hate each other, whether anyone really cares about religion, and - of course - how to behave in a queue, this chortlesome book is all you need if you want to call yourself a British citizen, whether you were born here or not.

Not in the UK?

Fear not! Many items can still be ordered. Amazon in the UK delivers to many international territories, whilst their Australia, USA and Canada stores also supply many equivalent or imported items.

If you are in the North America, look out for US/Canadian flag icons on popular product listings for direct links.

If you order from a UK store, please note that the UK is in Region 2 and B, respectively, for DVDs and Blu-rays - check your player's compatibility, or look for multi-region products if you are located in another region.

If you are in Australia or New Zealand (DVD Region 4), note that almost all DVDs distributed in the UK by the BBC and 2entertain are encoded for both Region 2 and Region 4. The UK and Australasia are in the same Blu-ray region (B).
