And he's a cockney.....
I've consulted my copy of "Her Majesty's Government - Official Guide; Potential Citizens (British) - Part 3(b): British Places" and there's no such one listed.
Did you mean Cuckney ("North Notts; semi-desert; officially twinned with Tatooine")?
Or maybe Orkney ("A long way up the map; in fact, almost falling off the edge of the world. Nearly British but not quite. More Viking")?
This "test" reminds me of those so-called competitions where you have to read three lines of large text and then pick out the most obvious word from a list of three, two of which did not appear in it and are completely irrelevant anyway. You know the sort:
Members of the ModelBoatMayhem Forum are people who make:
1) Cup cakes
2) Model Boats
3) Dermatitis
It proves nothing except very basic literacy. Is that all HMG is after establishing? Reminds me of the tale my mate Ken McHugh tells of when he was working for HM Customs in Dover East B Inbound Freight Shed. Confronted by a bloke he described as six feet thirteen and the colour of coal, Ken asked for the passenger's passport. This contained a very grainy picture along with an address in Dundee and the name of Alexander McTavish (or some such). Ken asked the punter what the name of the British Prime Minister was, and the reply came back "Uh? Is Winston Churchill, mister?"
Takes all sorts, dunnit?
