elsiegee40 Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 The North-o-Meter A bit of fun, but surprisingly accurate... I got 60% North (Doncaster ish) despite having lived in Kent longer than anywhere else. It pinpoints my spiritual home of Yorkshire where I spent the majority of my youth. Mr gee40 got 30% (Oxford) which isn't so far out North-South wise for a Beds/Bucks youth
GeeHubb Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 37%, Oxford for me too! Strange given that I'm now at my most 'Northern' living point at Colchester, having been Surrey born and expatriated to Essex. However, as my mother was from Worcestershire and I still have lots of family connections there.
tom_newton Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 95% - its just thechips and gravy that keeps me from 100%, it's a vile concept.
featured_spectre Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 33%...not bad...chips and gravy was consumed last night with a roasted chicken! haha
Andrew_C Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 25% puts me in Lunnon. I blame my parents for dragging me that far norf. My father is Scouse, my mother was Geordie; didn't really stand a chance, did I? (If I'd been born any further south, I'd be French)
Fleetwood Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 10% here, somewhere around Bournemouth. So that's even more Southern than I actually am! Maybe I should start worrying.. Also, what was that jibberish within the first two questions? Something about sin bins and ducks and hats?
Dos_Box Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) 100% Northern. bang on @tom_newton. You find something wrong with chips and gravy? Hand yourself in for re-education immediately! Oh, and if you are from overseas or south of the M25 here is a picture of chips and gravy: Words cannot describe how nice it is. Edited November 9, 2013 by Dos_Box
unixman_again Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 27%, which puts me in London. I'm am definitely a southerner, although as an Aussie I'm am offended to be grouped in with those from inside the M25.
Guest Guest Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 35% - Oxford. But I'm from Middlesbrough. It goes Middlesbrough, Sunderland, Newcastle, Scotland! TBF most of the questions/words are Southern to me.
sted Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 95% - its just thechips and gravy that keeps me from 100%, it's a vile concept. i answered no to that and got 100% (Newcastle) im from Doncaster bit live on leeds these days. gravy is something to tolerate not like personally i prefer covering chips in hp and grated cheese
Norphy Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 0% for me! I think it's because I put that I prefer Pear Cider to Mild or Bitter. Oh well... Embarrassing considering that my name is North.
twin--turbo Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 I don't think I have had chipshop chips and gravey this year, probably had frozen chips and bisto.. Can't understand why it's so strange down South. Rob
elsiegee40 Posted November 9, 2013 Author Posted November 9, 2013 Son managed 33% despite only having lived in Kent. I blame his mum
synaesthesia Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 40% Northern, Wolverhampton. Not actually that far off!
plexer Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Futhest north from me I've lived was Coventry lol. Beb
hardtailstar Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 I got 77%, Not bad since ive lived in Kent my whole life but i am only southern by birth as my mum is from Scotland and my dad Preston, My mum did the test and she only got 67%!
dhicks Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 10% - somewhere around Bournmouth. You find something wrong with chips and gravy? Yes, for some reason people here seem to leave out the cheese curds: Poutine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
free780 Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 15% been living in Yorkshire for 6 years. Originally from Milton Keynes.
localzuk Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Grew up on the IOM, went to you in Lancaster... 7% northern. Lol
teejay Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 100% Northern, grew up in Kent though but did move up to Yorkshire when I was 18, so have spent much longer up here than down there:p
witch Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Somewhere around London for me which is correct as I come from 20 miles NW of the place I have lived in the south since college though - Southampton, Brighton, Hastings and Poole (with a brief foray to Milton Keynes where I found mrwITch) If I hadnt sung "Ilkley Moor" as a child I might have come out more southern
