I scored 85%, which was slightly disappointing, but it did place me at York when I was born in Harrogate.
100% Oh yes :D
Leon...you clearly let "soft clone" answer for you ;D ;D ;D
Down to 80% - been a poncy southerner far too long - mind you don't miss the shell suits, saying errmm and seeing so many tanning salons, bookies and loan shops
57% Nottingham.
Well, that's where the grandparents were from, pretty good.
90% - Middlesbrough :D :D :D :D
48% northern - That's somewhere around Wolverhampton.
Which isn't a bad guess as I'm originally from Worcester
98% around Middlesbrough not bad as I was born in the British Protectorate of West Hartlepool.
100% here ;D
not sure how as I dont drink bitter but it says I am 100% so 100% I am ;D ;D ;D
65% - Born in Dunfermline, living in Edinburgh.
65% of the way from Southampton to John O' Groats maybe :)
I am 7% Northern - Jersey. Thst very dissapointing
Being from East London I believe that there is nothing North of Watford Gap an South of the Thames the map is blank with "There be dragons"
27% equals London. Fairly true, Aylesbury is actually slightly to the north of London, but it's close enough! ;D
65% - Doncaster! Must be the rugby leage, mild and chips and gravy! ;)
Oh - and talking to people on buses! :D

23% - not bad for an Antipodean! :D
Mind you, my mum's dad grew up in Yorkshire (born in Kent and moved when he was 6) - so that sort of counts .... :-\
Feck me I'm from Wolverhampton accoring to this :(. Quite easy to 'rig' some of the answers though ;).
55%...around Nottingham apparently.
Pretty accurate as I lived there for quite a while.
Cheers - Phil.
Hmm 75% Hull - chips n gravy and being a veggie did for me score though :D
should've been Middleborough (born) or Northallerton (home)
sadly it's currently London (work)

As a veggie, are you allowed past Watford Gap? :)

Well I've been that way 35 years, and lived south of the gap for the last 15 so I guess it took at least 20 years for the southern ponces to let me in but yes apparently.
Oh did you mean t'other way about? :-\
I got 80%
100% I was born and raised in a mining village in Yorkshire :-)
I did think it was going to mark me down because I don't like chips & gravy.

10% Bournemouth.
I didnt know what a pie barm was
60% which places me around Doncaster too.
I spent three very formative years in Sheffield which could explain it.
As you might expect - 0%. Which put me somewhere near Jersey. Actually born in Exeter.
Greetings
28% so around London which isn't far out as I work there and live west and a bit south of it.
Regards
Edward

Apparently is a pie in a bap
Had a rummage on the site and found "How Geeky Are You?"

100% Northern...39% geeky. I think the correlation is obvious ;D ;D ;D
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!
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
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.
73% geeky...
Dave !
Where you originate from....You should have a score of minus 'lots'. ;) ;D
I mean.....Could anyone get much further South ? ;)
Cheers - Phil.
72% geeky

Auckland, NZ. Dad from Bristol, Mum from Guernsey, and I'm currently living in Cheltenham :D
34% geeky.
Cheers - Phil
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

Last time we caught a bus we got talking to John Otway's mum which was quite entertaining. :D
I ended up in Doncaster - what is well sarf o me.

Furthest
North I've ever strayed is Edinburgh.
Cheers - Phil
34% Geeky, which I thought would be a higher for some reason. I seemed to be answering 'Other' for quite a few of them though.

Nothing further north is worth going to :d
Despite being born in Newcastle and bred mostly in the Northeast. Only scored 40% 'Wolverhampton'. Didn't know what a 'pie barm' was, don't like chips and gravy, put a coat on when it is cold, and drink pear cider. Being in a 'forces' family living in Gibraltar for a while probably didn't help either. :-<
58% geek though answering other for several probably didn't help,

Redid it again later on Facebook and got 70%/Hull! Maybe Northerness fluctuates?! Must have been listening to t' World Cup on t' wireless... :-\
Cheers!

Finally discovered the geek-meter. 36% - well, no surprises there then. :-B
25% Northern :-[ Far far too high. Puts me in London, which is handy :D
And 51% Geek, which I thought was high for mostly 'other' answers. ???
78% geek! oops!
36% Geek, a lot of other, but recognised Clive Sinclair!

Just found this. Scored only 90% which puts me well south of where I'm from. Been away too long. Mind, I never liked gravy with my chips....
There was a chippie in Newark (Notts) that did superb gravy and chips.....But haven't eaten that delicacy for about 10 years now. :'( :'(
Just found the 'How Essex are you' quiz....
A fine score of 0%.....Huzzah !
Cheers - Phil.
40% Wolverhampton, not bad for a Londoner born & breed.
