    It says something about Her Britannic Majesty’s Request inside, but I thought that was a reference to an old Stones Album

    Funny thing is, new "citizens" not only have to swear that oath but before that they have to complete a test... all about the U.K., it's history etc. A test which, when they gave it to those born here, they failed <laugh>

    I guess according to Jakarta there's an assumption we know it all by default bcos we're born here lol

    I can't remember what, but I know I got good grades/marks in history, think they must have got my paper mixed up with someone elses.

    My Mrs is doing it at the moment as she has decided she is finally ready to swear allegiance to the queen and take advantage of visa free travel. At the moment she has to get one for everywhere but Asean, Peru, Colombia and Morocco. Its almost as if they want them to be used as drug mules.

    Me neither. Its probably just we don’t trust foreigners even if they are becoming new citizens. Those going through new citizenship ceremonies in Wales can do it in Welsh:
    Llw teyrngarwch
    Yr wyf i, (enw), yn tyngu i Dduw Hollalluog y byddaf i, ar ôl dod yn ddinesydd Prydeinig, yn ffyddlon ac yn wir deyrngar i’w Mawrhydi y Frenhines Elisabeth yr Ail, ei Hetifeddion a’i Holynwyr, yn unol âr gyfraith.

    I would think your average Bangladeshi would be having 2nd thoughts about his new citizenship when asked to recite that.

    Yep. For spouses its just speaking and listening. She should be okay on the first but will definitely fail the second.
