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

    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

    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.

    ‘somewhere around Jersey’

    that’s rather close for a jokey quiz – I come from the Isle of Wight.

    “85% northern – somewhere near York.”
    Which is quite bizarre as that’s exactly where I am. I also had chips and gravy yesterday.

    How northern am I?

    I can drive south for 8 hours and still be in what Englanders call the north.

    0%, quite surprised as I lived in Chester for a while – not really a Northern City I suppose.

    20% but the arrow was pointed pretty much exactly where I great up / live currently, mid to south Surrey… So how this constitutes 20% is beyond me. But I suppose anything a few yards up so getting your feet wet in the channel is ‘North’ is the most literal sense if not geographically accurate 🙄

    100% and living in flat Suffolk. I suppose the 3 years in Tadcaster as a nipper had an effect.

    A Philippino friend got 57% without ever being there, of course as a Southerner I explained to him what it was all about.
