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,

65% - Doncaster! Must be the rugby leage, mild and chips and gravy!  ;)

Oh - and talking to people on buses!  :D

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!

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.  ???

I scored 85%, which was slightly disappointing, but it did place me at York when I was born in Harrogate.

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.
