How Northern are you?

boogieman

7%. I suspect this is only because I vaguely know what an oatcake is. I lived in North Yorks for a while, but otherwise I'm southern and proud of it. >:D<

Roland

55% Nottingham, which coincidently is near where I currently live

bertie

25%, largely because I guessed at the playground games, as Id never heard of any of them. and I dont like pear cider.  The pointer was going south each time, apart from those two

The Tig/Tag question is interesting. I moved from Stockport to Solihull when I was about 9 and I remember the change of name confusing me.

(I was born in Basingstoke)

That question stumped me completely because at my school we called it "tick". It may just be that we were pronouncing "tig" wrong, but it was definitely pronounced with a "ck" sound at the end.

I have never heard anyone from any other region - or any other school for that matter - pronounce it this way, however..

Phil_aka_Pip

47% = Wolverhampton

Born in Nottingham, lived a total of 22 years in Suffolk, the remainder in Herts/Berks/Surrey

Sithee! Tha can use t'interweb tuh tell the if ye one o' god's own!! Bleedin' barnpots.

mike_l

95%.

Not bad for someone who's only been North of Coventry a handful of times.

Bellycaster

80% Northern, although I can't tell you what a Pie Barm is and the Chips and Gravy only counts as it was with Roast Chicken and Veg.

I'm off to see to t' Pigeons n' t' Ferret n' t' Whippet. Si thi later yer great Southern Jessies.

 

GuitarMonkey

Gravy on it own? I doubt it'll catch on......

Bucket

10%. I'm a soft southern bastard. I've never even been up North.

98% Somewhere around Middlesbrough, although I'm actually from Stockport.

Pretty chuffed to be honest.

Same here. Not a bad assumption being I'm from the mighty Darlington.

daveww

35% Oxfordshire!  I'm from Birmingham but I've lived almost in Stockton On Tees for the last 20 years.

Grunfeld

0%

I have no idea what that was all about.  The furthest north I've lived is N16, Stoke Newington. 

littlegreenman

75%, Hull.

Whether that's better or worse than Liverpool is for the Hull-ites to decide.

ditto to Dave on this.
27% and a Londoner apparently.

HAL9000

55% puts me near Nottingham. So far I've only actually lived in London, Surrey, and West Susex (with my ferret and whippet).

thumpingrug

85%  "Somewhere around York".  Not bad as born only 30 miles away in East Yorks.

The last 20 years living down south have dun nowt t' chane me

4string

Jeez, 90% I'm from the midlands, those 5 years in Manchester really left their mark..l

digitalscream

72% = Hull.

Which is odd, because I've lived in the Midlands for 33 of my 36 years, bar a brief stint in Sheffield.
