Paul Battley reported a problem in UK Government on July 08, 2009 14:18:
British citizens can't pass the UK Citizenship Test.The fact that almost no British citizens can pass the practice test suggests that the questions in the tests are irrelevant and not needed to participate in society.
Have a look at these two Twitter searches for evidence:
uk citizenship test failed and uk citizenship test passed
In particular, many questions read like bad pub quiz questions, such as the exact year in which women gained the right to divorce, or the exact (to nearest million) number of people under the age of 19.-
Paul Battley marked one of Wim Leers' replies in Delicious as useful. Wim Leers replied to the idea "Let my browser remember my password for me!". Paul Battley and 3 other people think it's one of the best replies.

Thanks for your reply, even if it is disappointing. I thought it might be a Yahoo thing, because I'd noticed the same problem there. I can accept that a Yahoo account might be used for important purposes, even if mine isn't. However, I fail to see how preventing automated form-filling on a Delicious login helps anyone to 'stay safe'. To put it another way, what's the worst that could happen?! -

Let my browser remember my password for me!Since the change from del.icio.us to delicious.com, I have to sign in more frequently (every two weeks). This is a minor inconvenience, but it's exacerbated by the fact that the password field is set to autocomplete="off", telling my browser not to offer to remember it for next time.
When my bank does this, it's a good security precaution. When Delicious does it, it's just annoying. I love Delicious and use it daily, but it is just a free bookmarking service, and doesn't need this level of security paranoia.
