I looked at it again and decided they were right ... it's the one about the siblings ... though I don't believe it's a good question ... 7/10.

Cheers,

6/10, I too disagree over the sibling question, so a sneaky 7/10 :mrgreen:

I failed my higher english (but passed french - work that one out :? ) so am rather proud of my generally good spelling and grammar - and wince at some folks' spellings and apostrophe fcuk ups :blackeye

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

Grammar test

4/10.
I stopped paying any attention in English after my teacher (head of the department) appeared at my door one night with his wife and kids trying to sell us his religion.
That's my excuse anyway........ :-)
