I got 85% placing me in York, not bad then, and my grandfather was from York.
DW only got 17% placing her in Bournemouth - I have more work to do!  ;D

Oh she's done that. My nephew's girlfriend made us some parkin and very nice it was too. She likes pork pie with mushy peas. It was just the questions, and her liking cider! I failed in her not having had chips and gravy though - not sure how that happened!

Food's the most important bit, as far as I'm concerned! Her tummy's converted, so good enough for me.  :P Though, uh, the quiz really lumped us diverse Northerners as if we are unified by language and we are not.  :D

*cough* Brown sauce with chips, please *cough*.

Oh, too true. I used to work in London in the 80's and they always used to lump me, a Scouser and a Manc all together as "northerners" saying we sounded the same!
And it mentions barm on that - well we are due East of Manchester but it's a teacake here, not a barm!
