Here are some questions I found that were really and truly fielded by staff in some of Britain's Tourist Information Centres. From these maybe we can learn how much (or how little) the average non-Brit knows about Old Blighty.
Are there any lakes in the Lake District?
Is Wales closed during the winter?
In what month is the May Day demonstration?
What is the entry fee for Brighton?
Can I get to Jersey any other way apart from sea or air travel?
Why on earth did they build Windsor Castle on the flight path of Heathrow?
What Tube line runs to Edinburgh?
Is Edinburgh in Glasgow?
What time of night does the Loch Ness monster surface and who feeds it?
Perhaps, as our resident Scot Cossie can answer the last question. And since he lives not too far, maybe Timmy can answer the question about Windsor Castle.

The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)
