The British citizenship test goes to Edinburgh
After the fun we had asking people in London how they would do in a completely unscientific sampling of The British citizenship test, we decided to have a go again in Edinburgh – where I’m did my show, The Brit Identity, about my journey from American to British citizen.

It is the way of the world that everything fashionable will become passé. And then, as night follows day, it will come back into fashion – first ironically, as sported by inaccessible hipsters, then in earnest by the majority. Then it will be unfashionable again, and the whole process repeats until the end of time.
