Sounds about right. ;) Though if I'd gotten one more question right (and there were a couple I was dithering on), it would have dubbed me English. So [livejournal.com profile] tigupine can go be happy now, or something.

You are 79% English.

You are either native and stupid, or you are foreign and knowledgeable.

"And did those feet
In ancient times,
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
In England's pleasant pastures seen?"

Well, no, but it's a cracking good tune.

How English are you?

That's odd. I'd assumed that my worryingly low score (84) was due to my insistence that you put the milk in first.

I achieved 90%, and also insisted that milk comes first. Because it does.

Bah, savages. Milk in your Earl Grey. For shame...

Apparently the English (you get more points for saying tea with lemon...)

I know. It tastes better first. But it took a German friend to teach me this, as I'd been brought up *very* firmly tea first.

The point *ought* to be that you probably have to be English to argue this vociferously about which way to make tea. Likewise there is a rule that a tea party is not complete without performing the ceremony of the jam-first/cream-first disputation.

I got 90%, and also insisted that the milk went in first. Though I don't actually drink tea, of course, which presumably brings me down a few points on the Englishness scale.

I have, however, just spent several minutes playing about with the answers, and have utterly failed to achieve a score of more than 98%, even by means of flagrant lying. Perhaps the creators of the quiz believe there is no such thing as perfect Englishness...

I was wondering if declaring myself to be male and 18-24 made me somehow less English. Perhaps you need to claim to be a baronet in your late fifties to properly qualify.
