Well, this is all very interesting indeed. All the foreenors I gave the
test too got on average 8/10. Are they more British than the British?
Or perhaps they simply pay more attention to what was/is happening in
their adoptive country. The kettle question was however the difficult
one. All had no need for a kettle - a saucepan is as good for boiling
water )

Though, to be pedantic, the kettle was irrelevant to the question, which
was about on what grounds can you return goods and ask for a refund.

Maybe it's a reflection of the britishness of the setters, in that they
felt a kettle was an example of something that *everyone* would possess.
