It was pretty accurate for me. 10% northern! somewhere near Bournemouth... I'm from along the coast but more like 100 miles east!

I'm at 17% - Bournemouth.

Which is even further south than my Surrey roots.

It was the playing "it" that killed me.

75% puts me near Hull which is pretty damn accurate, well about 30 miles west of Hull anyway.

Bournemouth must have moved. I'm Bmth born and bred but came out at around 30% . All I can think is that my husband and his family Black Country thing has rubbed off on me a bit.

I came out as 46% Northern at Wolverhampton; I was born in Leicestershire, so not bad! I moved South at 11....but obviously didn't let 'em affect me

I got 88% but as I was doing it I was looking for the flat cap and whippets answer...I came from the Cheshire/Derbyshire border in the Peak District area.

It's your Canadian side that's biasing the result.

Talking on trains, fries and gravy, etc, etc...

75 percent Northern, coming from the North West I'd have assumed I would have been a bit more Northern

I'm from the NW too and I came out as 98% Northern. Obviously the 20 years I lived in Hampshire didn't damage me too much!

I remember my Grandmother coming across to Manchester from her home in Gateshead by train (at the age of 80). When she changed at Leeds she claimed that she'd never been so far south in her life!
