Starting Tuesday, the tens of thousands of immigrants who apply for British citizenship each year must pass a new "Britishness" exam, designed to test familiarity with this country's politics, life and customs. The prime minister's official residence is at 10 Downing Street; a dog must wear a collar bearing its owner's name and address -- those who want to hold a British passport are to learn this and much more. The test was designed by government officials who are increasingly worried that immigrants are not integrating into British society, preferring to live in urban enclaves where language, culture and food are separate from this country's traditions.Jokes allowed.
