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
