    ’t North-o-Meter

    I am, you may be surprised to know, about 60% Northern. Somewhere near Doncaster, as it happens. Which is odd, as I lived there many, many years ago!

    I’m 5% Northern which is probably quite enough, tbh.

    I am 79% Northern, which apparently puts me somewhere around Hull. While I am proud to come from the salt of the earth, northern working classes, Hull FFS, the shame, me mum will never talk to me again.

    25%! I blame the parents-in-law’s influence who originate from Harrogate/ Knaresborough…

    If they had come from the North, rather than a southern enclave, you could have scored higher.

    70% Northern (Hull-ish). I’ve said before that Cannock has northern aspirations. That’s why everyone rides orange 5s

    5% and that’s only because I’ve seen pictures of an ‘oat cake’ in a magazine so knew what it was.

    My mum considers herself 100% Scottish which is odd as her father was from Accrington..

    Needs ‘Other’ options 🙂

    37% which put me ‘somewhere around Oxford’ which is actually where I live. Can’t argue with that really.

    7% – which I reckon is purely as a result of having ulcerative colitis which caused me to try oatcakes and drink bitter instead of cider

    I feel sick.. The ways this disease can rob you of your dignity know no mercy

    90% northern
    That’s somewhere around Middlesbrough

    90% here too. I’m from Middlesbrough.
    I haven’t lived there for 15 years so I’m pretty glad I’m still a Boro Boy.

    Whilst I know what an oatcake is, I don’t like them. And I don’t know what a pie barm is.

    Now, where do I get my certificate and White Rose sticker?

    Anyway, aren’t Oatcakes a midlands thing?

    I remember picking up my Roadrat from Swinnerton’s (on the way up to the proper noth) on a Saturday morning, and seeing a massive queue, right down the street, for the Oatcake shop a few doors down. Thats about all they sold, oatcakes- needless to say we tried some and they were alright, not as good as the ones in the cafe on the Hardhurst Farm campsite in Hope tho…

    Off topic!

    which I reckon is purely as a result of having ulcerative colitis which caused me to try oatcakes and drink bitter instead of cider

    Yunki, I was diagnosed earlier this year, been taking Asacol and seem to be able to eat & drink whatever, tho I wasn’t too good after a curry recently 😳 Have you changed your diet drastically? I ask because I’ve not been feeling as healthy as I did a few months ago, wondering if getting much more fibre in my diet might help?

    85% Northern – Somewhere around York.

    Grew up in Wakefield, so I can cope with that.

    Interestingly, the big arrow on the map is pointing nearer Tynemouth which is nearer to where I live now.
