Jo @doesjoknow.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Sorry to give a serious answer, but the British Citizenship test is entirely about proving you want to live here badly enough to memorise an entire book of arbitrary facts. When I was revising, there were many answers native citizens didn’t know, had no cause to know, and had never been taught. 194 9
Jo @doesjoknow.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I mainly use it when it’s been almost embarrassingly long between emails. A genuine hope they haven’t gone off on the sick/died/changed jobs and can help with whatever I’m about to ask for. 140 4

Jo @doesjoknow.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I don’t know it’s my favourite but Girls like us (triple biography of Joni Mitchell, Carole King and Carly Simon) is a window into the songwriting scene of the 60s and 70s. Probably more about them personally than their music. 030 3

Jo @doesjoknow.bsky.social · 27/06/2026The weird ones get all the attention so it’s a fun challenge trying to think of normal ones. Non politicians like Sunak and Starmer don’t count (both came to power by not being Liz Truss) 0100 10

Jo @doesjoknow.bsky.social · 30/05/2026I suspect you’re thinking in the context of languages. Scots is a language that is not Gaelic and shares an ancestor with English. The language of Robert Burns. Scottish is not a language. Scottish Gaelic is a language (rhymes with phallic). 010 1
