Yep - absolute sh1te ! I got 100% and also from Lancashire and would not wish to be from Newcastle or Whitley Bay or any place similar to that up yonder.

I only got 60% in the guess the house price.

The southern border of the North of England is at the Durham-Yorkshire border in the east and at the south end of Cumberland in the west.

You lot come from the Midlands.

Re: How Northern are you?
 

Exactly so.

I've been away for awhile so forgive me, but are northern people chavs or pikies?

I wouldn't call Wigan the midlands

That's cos you aren't a Northener.

Re: How Northern are you?
 

Chavs are mostly from Essex. The odd (I mean odd) minority in the North are called Charvers, but are much more sophisticated than Chavs.

We don't have pikies, but I understand they're mostly immigrants (from southern climes).

Re: How Northern are you?
 

Of course you wouldn't. But we would.

North of Watford = uuuup North. All you need to know.

Re: How Northern are you?
 

Yes of course. dbd33 now and again promulgates a similar sentiment.

His stance is sadly weakened but the fact that he used consider north of Bloor as being the tundra, but has for several years actually lived, by choice, in the true tundra.

In general terms though, I think the disdain for Midlanders and Southerners in the English context, which is held by true Northerners, vastly, and rightly, dwarves such reverse sentiments.

Vive la difference, eh?

"Newcastle" but only because I ticked I drink ale.

It's a bit biased. I don't know any women that drink ale. It didn't have a box for corona with lime and if I ticked cider it would put me at Middlesborough and I wasn't having that...

Bournemouth for me- I feel like I should be much further south, but sadly was forced to learn all the words to Ilkley Moor, so scored higher than I should have.

My grandmother lived in Southampton and then Christchurch (near Bournemouth), but Bournemouth is for retired people, and at 53 I'm not ready for that yet!!:p

Re: How Northern are you?
 

Well, quite. New South Wales beats all possible alternatives.

Re: How Northern are you?
 

Yeah you say that, but aren't you officially 7yrs away from a free bus pass? :D

There is a reason Watford has the word "Gap" attached to it
