6. Have a shrine somewhere in my home to Manchester United.
7. Recite the rules of Football (  ) and Cricket.
8. Name either Churchill, Maggie or Wellington as my favorite person of all time.
9. Name all the wars under Queen Victoria.
10. Define "bonnet" and "spanner".
Sadly, I didn't make it.  | Now 1, 3 and 10 I would agree with. 6 should only be done if you want to be ostracised by real football fans, 2 isn't relevant these days. To be honest, i doubt many people already living here would fill the other criteria. Everyone knows football rules (aside form what constitutes dangerous play these days) but no one knows the rules of cricket fully
