As a Brit - do you really want to be throwing stones from that glass house you're sitting in over there?

8/20 here. Proud of getting some right. Really shocked about the answers to some!

A tricky test indeed

My sister still lives there and from what she says it's not too difficult. Some VPNs work, others are on the 'no longer work' list and at big events they mysteriously stop working.

She's not technically minded, she'll just be using an app.

I would have thought by now someone would have demolished it...

If anyone wants the Radio Plays I can share a Google drive link

EDIT Here you go

Includes original radio series and the noughties radio series (adaptations of books - not as good but has the original cast and is entertaining)

The 70s records - essentially the commercial version of the first radio series - has the Disaster Area sequence in the for 'Black Ship' instead of the shapehifting aliens.

The Dirk Gently radio series with Harry Enfield. Inferior to the books but the most faithful adaptation.

It had me going for a few seconds mainly out of bewilderment!

Let us know how that one goes - good luck!

Negligence in poor communities (basically 'let the gangs sort themselves out') was a major issue in the area where my mum worked growing up. She worked with kids with learning difficulties.

That's still the way the British police like it (and in the US as well I know) - the arrogant 'well our hands are clean' attitude. Same when knife crime became an epidemic with innercity youths there was massive inaction before doing anything about it, I suspect largely because on the whole it wasn't white kids

Yeah, the force that claimed an officer "may have been confused" would have been better off not bothering with that excuse at all.
