Are there any questions that you would pose to see if someone is actually British?

Nope, there is nothing I could ask that would prove definitively that someone was British or not.

"Is this you?" and point to a £5 note. If they say "yes", then you're either speaking to Winston Churchill, Queen Elizabeth 2nd, or King Charles III - all of whom are British.

What if you are pointing at the otters?

Argh! Not for the first time, my previously infallible system has been foiled by an RBoS banknote
My old one was my useful Monarch identification system - “if the person wearing a crown looks like the person on note who’s wearing a crown, then you’re looking at the Queen” … but RBoS put the Queen Mother on their £20(?) note in the early 00s so that stopped that one from working. How embarrassing would it be if you said “ah, you’re the queen!” and the person said “No, I’m her mum”?!?! Nobody wants that!

I want to sympathise but I don't know if I should write bloody otters, bloody Queen Mum or bloody Scots. As a Scot, I'll go with the last one.

It’s a tricky one. But what I would say is that I was in Aberdeen last weekend and met a police officer in a backstreet who was eating chicken pakoras whilst warning the few passers by that they needed to leave the area quickly as one particular seagull that’d been following him around and acting suspiciously. He was offered to fight the seagull when it approached us. This was about 4.30am, and he was either undercover or off duty as he wasn’t in uniform - but he was definitely a policeman because he told us that he was one. And he said a marine biologist, so presumably ideally qualified for the job.
Anyway, I feel any nation that produces such dedicated public servants can’t be truly blamed for anything.
