Yeah did anyone know the actual answer to the faminie one? I guessed completely

Yeah - I actually knew that one.
I didn't remember from school though - I did some module in college that included stuff about the famine.

I got 12 right but most of those were compete guesses. Meh.. they seem like rather irrelevant questions, I don't see why having a good knowledge of such things would give someone more of a right to call themselves British. Surely instead of historical questions there should be ones that are actually relevant to how society functions today.
