I wondered why I didnt  like myself - 66% Mind you most of the population of North East Wales came from either Merseyside or eastern Europe.

I got 90%, but I think that's just contamination from many years living there.

Da iawn!

And here, a California boy, got a 94%.  Always did well on multiple choice tests.

I know I have some English and Scottish in the heritage, but not Welsh.

Thank the gods...I'm only 11% Welsh!

However, I think the test was slanted so however you answered you'd end up a little Welsh! This is obviously some sort of Welsh plot to try and be better than they are...just like that film Zulu; the Welsh not having any real military victories of their own stole an English one.

Taffy was a Welshman,
Taffy was a thief!
Taffy came to my house,
An stole a side of beef...

And so on!

95% - not bad for a Llandudno boy born in Merseyside.

One wonders how polite the English bastards on this forum would have been if Wales had  had a referendum.

Wulfstan was a sais get who came to Britannia and stole all the best agricultural land from himself. Does Farage have plans for shipping out all the Saxon immigrants? Oh wait, with a name like that he's probabably one of the even worse Norman immigrants.

The Normans! Don't get me started on the Normans! Bloody Vikings, coming over here taking our jobs and our women!

Oh! Wait. I'm not English (nor Welsh). Wrong rant. Gimme a sec.

"Say YES to the Highland Clearances!"

"Send the Scots back to Ireland where they came from!!"

That's better :)

But won't we all end up having to return to Africa, if we go back far enough ?......Or the sea ?......Or 'somewhere' out there in space.   ;)

Evidently the English still have this identity problem where they only feel good when berating the other inhabitants of these islands. Didn't expect a harmless little questionnaire to open such a can of viperish comments. Sad little Englanders.

The interesting thing I noticed in the quiz was how some of the terms and phrases were similar to some I remember from growing up in Middlesbrough. Which shows the impact that bit of 19th century immigration has had on the area I grew up in.

36% apparently, although some of it was more 'What Welsh stuff do you know?' than actually being Welsh.  I've no idea about the rugby player or the motorway services one, and anyone pinning leeks to my chest would be in trouble!  They're almost as bad as celery...

One of the delicacies of my part of the country is tattie soup (potato soup). Throw in some reestit mutton (salt mutton) and you have the perfect start to the new year celebrations.

This has prompted me to go back and reread the comments so far and left me wondering if we have been looking at the same thread? ;)

I did find a 'How much of a Faroe Islander are you'.

That might be a better one for people to try

What percentage score would you have to achieve before this is compulsory?
