Being British: Act IX

[coolh5000]

I think couch might be used depending on where you live but I would always use sofa instead.

[Horsesbella219]

Where i live, we would probably use Couch, Sofa or Setee, the last 2 more predominantly.

[Equinox Chick]

Couch can be used.

I think we're more likely to say sofa. For some reason my mum always said 'settee' I think she thought it was posher than couch. The social distinction goes over my head though.

[CakeorDeath]

I always thought that 'sofa' is more posh than 'settee'.

Thanks a bunch! I'll change it to sofa.

Is it true that in the UK you can't get your licence until you are 17?

And what is a common theory question, please and thank you!

Yep and it is very difficult to get insurance before you 21 (particulary if you're a boy).

Link to goverement website on theory tests.

Hope I helped.

ETA: They don't seem to have much on the type of questions, sorry.

Is the theory test written or computerized? The first link worked, I had to register at the site to take a mock test. You have some odd questions! Thanks!

Edit: What is a bay? As in "You see and meter zone sign, during the times list on the sign you should:A. park in a bay and pay."

Edit, again: Hey I got 32 out of 47, I failed but I did a good job of it!
