So You Want To Be?
This is meant as fun
 What three questions should someone know the answer, before being allowed to call themselves a native? I will be interested to see if I can answer the questions for other nations  I will have a try at Australia (although I am sure there will be many different opinions on what the questions for Aus. should be) 1. sing the words to Advance Australia Fair (I think I might struggle) 2. explain the LBW law (I think most Aussies would struggle) 3. the last words spoken by Ned Kelly (I think most people over 18 would know this) So 2.5 out of three for me

For some reason, the title of this thread reminded me of the Meadow-Lea advertising slogan from a while back. Odd connection to make...

I'd suggust "who scored the other goal when England won the world cup in 1966?" as a substitute.

For the Aussie one: 3/3
For the English: 1/3 (Shocked I can't think of the Hastings one.) New Zealand 1- Sing the Maori version of the National anthem. 2- Explain the ruck and maul rules in Rugby. 3- Knows the words to 'Why does love do this to me.' |

One of the Australia ones should be "Sing all the words to Khe Sanh. Loudly."
