Gravy on Chips??? Really?

"12% northern
That's somewhere around Bournemouth"

Well yes, 50 miles from Bournemouth to be precise.
I supported Leeds Utd. as a kid, so that must be where the 12% comes from.

100%. 🙂

Another 12%?

* fist bumps DezB*

65% here, which is odd as I consider "The North" to be anywhere north of Whitstable 🙂

you want grim? try holywell

Cheers,
Jamie

100%, Lancashire born and bred 😀

100% northern is accurate, but I'll batter the coder who reckons I live in Newcastle...

A lot of the "Northern" things had a north west bias.

We divent 'ave barms over 'ere, we 'ave buns.

10%

(Think it's for being a Bitter drinker...but it's usually Harvey's Sussex Best, London Pride or Doom Bar. I do wish they'd be more specific!) 🙂

Gravy on Chips??? Really?

[Despairs of emsz]

Gravy infused chips = one of life's unchanging pleasures. 🙂

Yet another 0% here.

Would you like some Northern in you? 😉

95%, Smoggielandish.
Born and bred Northumbrian. I blame marrying a southerner on the missing 5% 🙄

50% which makes perfect sense, my dad is from Bradford and my mum is from Bristol!

I am wiping the sweat from my brow, coming in at 0%. My 2.5 years up in Salford seem to have had no effect. 8)

12% thank god

Gravy on Chips??? Really?

Actually, they do that in Quebec, but add cheese curds and call it 'Poutine'. It's delicious.

Get it!!
(I mean, spiffing...)

DrP

By birth, I score 90%.

The contemporary, enlightened, Southern livin' me scores 20%, mainly as bitter, (or ale as I prefer to call it) is simply tip-top ace.

A colleague has just explained that pie barm is a pie in a sandwich!! WTF!!!

just wait until you experience "pie in soup" 😉

a pork pie. in a bowl of soup. srsly

Hmmm. I remember "chip soup" being banned when I was at school as the headmaster thought that tipping a plate of chips into a bowl of soups was not good behaviour, but I've never heard of pie soup.

I have heard of the "meat pie floater" though

Meat pie floating in (mushy) peas, covered in ketchip

100% thank goodness

I am craving a pie now. Can't get proper pies here in Germany, something to do with the demarcation of master bakers and master butchers.

85%.
Surprised by that as I'm not a 'real' northerner, but the indoctrination must have worked 😉

100% which is no shock even though I've not had chips and gravy since I was 16.

75% around Hull, latitude pretty good, longitude a bit off by about 60miles.
S Yorks and proud,

100% natch. Despite a southern mother. Never lived anywhere south of derby, even went to Scotlandshire for a bit.

'arrogate

H'arogate

Stupid bloody southerners...

After me. 'Arrog't.

0%

Time for dinner.

100%!! Which isn't surprising as I'm from Durham (but now living in Boroughbridge, which isn't far from Arrog't) 😛

Uncannily accurate, who says the internet isn't full of really useful stuff

95%, phew!!

57%.

I feel sullied.

55%. 😯

I'm away more southern than that.

MrsBouy scored 60% and that equates to Doncaster, it's about right that since she comes from H'rogate... 😆

Sorry, DP

100%.
Born in Nottingham, live in Lincolnshire.
Have lived in both Fife and Reading,I was expecting these to cancel each other out and leave me back in the midlands.
Still, better north than south

90% so not bad as i,m from the Peaks and so not "proper" north. Anyway don't talk to me about the north not being sophisticated I've BEEN to Leeds.

Somewhere near Bournemouth apparently at 12%, reasonably accurate seeing as I am a Londoner

Reckon it was the Bitter question that messed my total up, bit daft when we have Fullers and Youngs in London

62%.
But with a cockney dad and a leicestershire mum, living in nw leics i'm surprised i'm THAT northern.

10% -born in Oxford most of life in Cornwall makes sense! Even though i'm now Mids

Disappointed with 5% but then I realised it was because there wasn't 'none of the above' as an option and I probably pressed the button with some colloquial affectation that had little meaning outside a grim northern town.

It struck me that only a person from the northern badlands would come up with such a tool as an affirmation of belonging to something that is hardly desirable so as to somehow make themselves feel better about drawing the short straw.
But then they are a funny lot up there, theses grown men wandering around wearing teenage clothes and hairstyles?? What's all that about? I'm mean seriously? Jeans with superfluous pockets and hair gel for the over 40's?? And white trainers? You aren't telling me you partake in 'sport' only that waistline suggests sumo.

12% for me. My paternal grandmother comes from the northeast, so probably about right.
