Yeah they are UK signs but they are supposed to be based on european models. I'm willing to bet even the lads here dont get them all right. Give it a go and see how well you do.

Got 22 here, last time I was in Europe was 16 years ago, and long before I got my licence. I don't think I went too bad at all.

26 here...it is amazing how many signs are the same as Germany (said the American).
#10 reminds me of the same silliness as Germany. I can't figure out why you hang a sign saying 'end of speed control, default to the usual speed limit for this type of road and area' vs. putting numbers on the sign saying what the actual limit is. Would it really kill somebody to put numbers over a line or lines?
