The scottish currency one is interesting, as while Scottish Banknotes are legal currency – i.e. they are approved by the UK Parliament, they are not legal tender and do not have to be taken (even in Scotland - where only coins are in fact the only legal tender!). It's a true/false question to which the correct answer (accroding to the test is true), but what I want to know is, why the Scots get their own money bet us Yorkies don't

Yup - that was my point....depends what is meant by valid. They CAN be taken, they don't have to be taken.

48 out of 50 on the Theory test (did not know the speed of a mobility scooter and also got use hazard lights when broken down in tunnel question wrong - though not all bikes have hazard warning lights so I think that is a bit bogus!) - I am clearly bored today!

The questions that are in the exam will all relate to the text book that would be used to study from. So if the the book is wrong, then the answer will be wrong but correct. I think!
The questions in this test are much more relevant (and easier)to the ones a dozen years ago when the wife took hers. There was all sorts of stuff from populations of each each country, religion and history. In my opinion, some of it had nothing to do with actual life in the UK.

The hazard test is just bonkers and not made for road craft riders like ourselves.

But I bet it was or is a good money spinner for the authorities I think we paid £19 for the test itself and got the text book from WHSmiths along with the book of questions. It was still 24 multiple choice questions and you got 45 minutes to answer them. She said everybody finished in about 5 minutes and just sat there. You needed to score 75% to pass and you got the results straight away and they printed out a piece of A4 to say you passed which you had to keep safe as they cannot issue it again. Then you just sent off for the visa for indefinite leave to remain along with your payment of about £275. It's all probably much more expensive now.
She could apply for citizenship but we haven't bothered. You can't have UK/China dual citizenship so it means her giving up her passport and citizen card making it harder for her to go and visit family. It only takes 3 days for me and the kids to get visa's for China and they last 6 months.
