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

Absolutely, we don’t want anymore of your type up here. 😉

100% down here in Portsmouth 😀

I moved south to the ‘civilized world’ at 18 (about 12years ago), but I’m still 90% Northern!

90%

All’s well, except I was brought up to say ‘dinner’, not ‘tea’. That let me down. 🙁

Yet another 0% here. 😆

82% near York…
Born Leeds, grew up Manchester so pretty much spot on…

“somewhere around Middlesbrough”

Yes, Eston.

did you rob my mate’s bike when we were up the hills?

No.

Can you get a Donner Kebab barm for t’ea up north?

Or do you not have pitta in the first place? Call it a donna ke’barm instead.

3% and I feel like I need to scrub myself clean 😉

phew! ca. Bournemouth! 😉

Lots and Lots of very proud Northerns and Southerners on here and happy to let each of us know where they want to known by too..

Excellent.

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

Holywell?? I’ve found it to be rather a nice, pleasant village.

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. 🙂

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) 😛
