Take the test and find out!
With the Balmoral Show approaching we asked Ulster Bank to finance a think-tank of the world's greatest minds to develop an algorithm that can tell people how culchie they are. They were only too happy to work with us on this essential experiment. However the great minds hadn't a baldiest what a 'culchie' was, so we took the dough and did it ourselves. Answer the questions to get your 'culchie score', then get yourself off to Balmoral Show later this month.
