Post by: IanC on February 11, 2010, 22:30:33
Just found this via the virginmedia.com homepage, and without any aid of wikipedia or any sources like that scored 16/20.

Only a miserable 12/20 - I'll blame a couple of unlucky guesses...  :-\

Thirteen for me - not a chance with anything not US or UK as I'm not widely travelled otherwise therefore they were pure guesses

Hmm ... I scored sixteen out of twenty when I took the test.

Nope not enough to be a true gricer, you will need a mini dictaphone to record wagon numbers on passing freight trains. Plus a woolly hat!

16/20, much to my surprise. Think there were a few lucky guesses in there. At least I got the one on Swindon correct!
