If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

capthugeca

60% which places me around Doncaster too.

I spent three very formative years in Sheffield which could explain it.
Life is too important to be taken seriously.

Hertsblue

As you might expect - 0%. Which put me somewhere near Jersey. Actually born in Exeter.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

28% so around London which isn't far out as I work there and live west and a bit south of it.

100% Northern...39% geeky.  I think the correlation is obvious ;D ;D ;D

howayman

100% Northern, around Newcastle, not bad just over the river in Gateshead.
Its all relative really the Southern press still think Liverpool / Manchester is the North, i have to drive 100 miles South to get there!

Si Tyler

55% born and live in Gloucestershire, but did spend a lot of my formative years (and some later episodes) in North Yorkshire in my defence

Albie Bach

60% Somewhere around Doncaster
Pretty good, I lived in Doncaster from the age of 4 to 22.

87% geeky.

As for Northern, being from the proper North we look down upon these pretensions of Northerness with quiet amusement.

95% apparently, which they think puts me somewhere around Middlesborough!    That said, Heaven knows where they would have said I came from if I hadn't admitted to wearing a coat when it is cold.    For the record, my county of origin is actually Cheshire (I refuse to recognise that new fangled rubbish of a "county" Greater Manchester) .  :D

Oh - and talking to people on buses!  :D
Last time we caught a bus we got talking to John Otway's mum which was quite entertaining. :D
