I  got 12 and I  don't think I've ever spent more than a fortnight of my life in North Britain

Only eleven for this Sassenach, but strangely pleased that my immersion in The Broons and Oor Wullie as a youngster got me one of those points

15 out of 16. Which is odd, as there were 17 questions.

Been to Scotland twice in my life, an unknown time as a baby and four hours in Glasgow in 1995.

Me too!

The 'missing' question is the one about Rangers Football Club, which is marked as 'not applicable' rather than right or wrong....

Point of order:  I've never heard nutting referred to as a Glaswegian Kiss.  Glasgow Kiss, yes.  Perhaps it's a test set by McToffs.

That's clear when the answers come up. It's still a question though, just one you can't get right! A bit like that fish in the Tube game...

The penultimate one is a bit unfair.  How can you assess zero chance as more unlikely than zero chance?

No, it means that the spirit of Chris Morris is alive and well.
