SupraStar 3000 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Britain now has a citizenship test - if you want the passport you will have to pass the official national test, be accepted as speaking sufficient English and then attend a special public ceremony held by a local registrar. --------------- Good idea I think, although I would also include: Have a british bulldog tattoo. learn "god save the queen" word for word. learn "rule britannia" word for word. learn how to make a real cup ot tea.

Class One Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Yep it's 112, its been in use in the UK for a good couple of years or so. (apparently its because this is the EU emergency number) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScuttleRX Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 (apparently its because this is the EU emergency number) Ah I heard a different reason, was under the impression it has been there a long time and was to make ringing from them old phones with the rotary diallers a lot quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 wouldn't 111 be quicker. plausible reason though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuttleRX Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 yeah thats what I thought too, unless it was 111 and now 112 to conform with the euro regulations Can remember this from when I was a kid and we had one of them phones think it has been in for ages....

tbourner Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I thought everyone knew about 112, that's why you can type it into a phone even when the keypad's locked. What are the other questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lust2luv Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Knew about 112, but don't see why anyone would need to learn both numbers? Surely one's enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
