9:50 Whitehall is a street in London which has most of the central Government buildings either directly on it or close by to it. It's located close to the Thames in Westminster and runs between Trafalgar Square and Admiralty Arch (part of the Old Admiralty building) to the north and Westminster Bridge and the Houses of Parliament to the south. On this road can be found the Treasury, the Cabinet Office (responsible for running the Civil Service), the Foreign Office (which is right opposite 10 Downing Street), Downing Street itself, and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) building. Horseguards also backs onto Whitehall, it's main frontage being onto Horseguards Parade Grounds, where the yearly Trooping of the Colour and Beating Retreat ceremonies are held. Horseguards is the traditional home of the British Army, much like the Old Admiralty building is the traditional home of the Royal Navy, even if neither of them are used by the MoD any more. Also off of Whitehall is Whitehall Place, a street which leads into Great Scotland Yard, where the Metropolitan Police had it's first headquarters, and where the name Scotland Yard comes from. The Cenotaph is located in a traffic island in the middle of the street outside the Foreign Office. It was originally unveiled in 1919 in a wooden form, intended to be a temporary memorial to the fallen of WW1 for a parade held that year including veterans from the USA and France. Because of the public outpouring of emotion and sentiment, it was carved in stone and was unveiled in 1920 as a permanent memorial to the fallen of WW1. In 1946 it was rededicated to include the fallen of WW2 but has since become a monument for the fallen of all conflicts since WW1. The design of the Cenotaph is a pillar of Portland stone (the same sort of stone used for Buckingham Palace's frontage and lots of other public buildings in the UK), decreasing in width as it gets taller, topped with a plain tomb chest (which is empty). It always has the flags of the three armed services hanging from one side, and has a wreath carved into one end. Otherwise it is mostly undecorated. The Cenotaph was unveiled on the 11th of November 1920, at the same ceremony the King interred the body of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey just down the road, to represent all those who fell who could not be identified or who had no known grave (much as you have the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery in the US). Being in an Abbey however, it has no permanent military guard and the UK holds remembrance ceremonies using the Cenotaph instead of the grave of the unknown warrior. We also do not have an Eternal Flame as you would find in many European cities such as the one under the Arc de Triomphe in Paris (their place of remembrance for their war dead) or in Belgium on their Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at their Congress Column. On the next traffic island up Whitehall towards Trafalgar Square, you'll find a monument to the Women of World War II, and beyond that a monument to Field Marshal Douglas Haig, one of the Army commanders during WW1 and who (whilst having a divisive reputation as all generals of the time must have) has been recognised as one of the better commanders of WW1, and who tried after the war to work to get his former soldiers better peacetime conditions (as they had been promised by the government). There are various other memorials and statues down Whitehall in either direction.

The vertical lines are all curved outwards...... All the vertical lines are curved outwards, because the Greeks discovered that if a column is built with vertical lines, it will give the appearance of narrowing in the middle. The curve outwards gives an optical illusion of straight lines. Even the surface is curved upwards to allow for the illusion.

Well done, but it is still sick that we asked you to take an un British test. What have actors, Olympians and in my sister in law's case, Hansard., got to do with anything at all. Rather than knowing what Chartist was, you should know what a peer is. Knowing who built a castle in the 11th century does not help you if you dating a 15 year old. As you are from the USA that last point may pass you by. As you are over 18 the age of consent is 18 in the USA. It is simply 16 in the UK, but 14 in Italy, both the latter are regardless of your age. A Polish man who was starving killed a swan on the Thames, between Oxford and the sea, and went to jail. Agreed almost anywhere in the UK killing a swan is illegal and unacceptable. However you don't invoke ancient crimes against the king. Killing a goose or even a duck would not have garnered such hate. If you drop a banknote then you stamp on it to stop it blowing away, but accidentally injure an animal in an accident and you better show contrition. None of this is included in the test.

I was pretty impressed with your attempt, and, from experience from my work quiz, I'm sure a lot of native Britons would have got a few wrong.

Question 19 is misleading. There were originally TWO Acts of Union, one by the Parliament of England in 1706 and the other by the Parliament of Scotland in 1707. They resulted in the Kingdom of Great Britain which lasted from 1707 until 1800 when it was merged with the island of Ireland to create The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, now, following the independence of The Irish Republic in 1922, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. THAT piece of legislation was known as THE Act of Union. 🙂

A Sunday roast can be with any kind of meat - beef, lamb, chicken and pork are all standard fayre - the key factors are (a) a big joint of meat that will not only feed you on Sunday but will provide leftovers for meals for another day or two, and (2) everything that goes with it, Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, a selection of vegetables, gravy and stuffing. Although Scotland is famous for its highland cows, they aren't traditionally beef cattle, other breeds are much better for meat!

Whitehall is the road between trafalgar square and parliament square, along whitehall you'd find Horseguards, several government ministry buildings and Downing Street

[@duncanmacphee200]

Happy New Year guys!

[@kimbirch1202]

You did very well. Im impressed

[@tightropewalkergirl6485]

I’m British and can pass this one and the US and German one just from travelling around

[@birmingham2066]

A Roast beef roast diner has Yorkshire puddings served with it Yorkshire is in England , the guards at the Tower of London are known as the Beefeaters

[@reluctantheist5224]

The Tower was a mere 500 years (ish) old when Henry the 8th was ruling.

[@jillybrooke29]

The Crystal Palace was moved from Hyde Park to Sydenham, South London, I lived near the Crystal Palace Park where the ruins are now after it burned down in 1935 😢 White hall was named after an old building near Trafalgar Square.23rd April is St Georges Day in England.

[@Sharon-bo2se]

That was fun, you were having fun. Yes, we were shouting the answers (if we knew them). Thing is, you study for tests like these. Yes, I passed but missed a couple.

[@reactingtomyroots]

Yeah, we'd definitely study if we were taking it for real haha

[@Sharon-bo2se]

@reactingtomyroots needed a laugh today. My country is now under attack by the convicted felon. 🇨🇦

[@nicolad8822]

Thought you would have seen the Remembrance Parade past the Cenotaph?

[@claregale9011]

Yeah , I was a bit disappointed they did not react to our remembrance service at the cenotaph . Maybe next November 😊

[@Jamie_D]

Think a number of people would be glad they were born here and didn't have to take this,some are tough

[@vinnyganzano1930]

Oh come on. We all know that a growing part of Britain's population haven't been anywhere near this test and probably never will be.

[@victoriabaxter5582]

Mo Farrah is a national treasure ❤

[@jamesbaker8831]

There is a folk song "Oh the roast beef of old England"

[@davidjones3024]

You did very well! The test has become easier since my daughter in law passed 15 years ago

[@Uk-farmer62]

The Fee for Naturalization is £1,630 + £50 for the test you can re take the test after at least 7 days but you have to pay another £50

[@reactingtomyroots]

We'd be studying for sure, then 😅

[@steven54511]

Didn't play alongside you, but you did better than I was expecting. I reckoned you wouldn't know one or two more. Very well done though.

[@mrmessy7334]

The questions are so random and unrelated to actual British life, the only reason I can think for it is to prepare immigrants for the great British pub quiz!

[@valerierosling3968]

I want you two to live here in the UK. You are so nice.

[@stevechenery5754]

If there are 3,000 possible questions and each time you take the test the questions are replaced by a new set of random questions, then you’ve found an automatic “Videos we’ll have to check out” generator. There were several ideas for videos to check out in this set of questions .

[@alexshapley8331]

maybe somebody could cook a Sunday roast, roast beef etc, as an experiment... btw - those questions seemed much easier than 15 years ago (when I used to help a foreign colleague practice the example questions)

[@RogerS1978]

Slow Roasted beef joint, Roast Potatoes and Parsnips (roast in duck fat), Yorkshire pudding (cooked in Lard), Mashed potatoes and Swede with butter/cream and greens (peas and beans). Horseradish and/or mustard on the side. Interesting to hear other varients?

[@JURASSICPW2015]

You should also learn about Chester as it was a Roman city as Chester still has it walls and you can walk around it

[@RaymondAdams-t2d]

richard harris plays oliver cromwell in the film cromwell, a good film

[@lieslvann]

The Life in the UK test is part of a series of checks in order to get citizenship. You also need to pass an English test have character references, a stable job etc. And loads of money to pay the fees. I went through this myself recently and this was definitely the easy bit :)

[@lieslvann]

And it was £100 when I took the test

[@elainecampbell8227]

Oh, bless you, Lindsay, yes, we were screaming at Q13. The Cenotaph is the monument to commerorate the war dead, and is the central focus of our Remembrance Day events on 11 November each year.

[@frankdoyle9066]

You two should not have to take the test. You should have a welcoming committee the minute you get off the plane at Heathrow!!! Great video, thank you.

[@helenwood8482]

23rd April is St George's Day, patron saint of England. It is also Shakespeare's birthday.

[@BradLevangie]

I'm Canadian, and did the test about 20 years ago.....took a sample practice test to a pub for a quiz night......needless to say, the brits were shambolic...

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

3:15 Glastonbury is Britain's biggest rock music festival, similar to Lollapalooza. 8:40 Hawaii's king was given a British flag by the explorer Charles Vancouver and used it as his personal flag - Hawaii at the time was under British protection. 9:45 Whitehall is the location of central government offices in London. 15:30 April 23rd is St George's Day. 17/24 without any studying is good going - so very close! I was born in the UK (though I now live in New Zealand) and got 22/24.

[@jonathanpringle8238]

whitehall is the main street with entrance to downing street, it has many government offices and the famous raffles hotel. its located between big ben and trafalgar square
