25 questions and it got my place of birth dead right. Would be interesting to know how well it works for others.

Same here - spot on, and I haven’t lived there in 9 years. Interesting how the vernacular sticks.

I haven't lived there for over thirty years!

Daps and Twp gave it away too easily...

Pretty close - East Midlander which it got, but I could equally be form Kent and Slough, Reading area.

My map was spot on. 2 hotspots where I grew up and where i live now.

Mine had the broad area where I grew up right, plus another hot spot from where my mum was from - guess I've picked up some local expressions from her!

Bang on.

Spot on here too.

I hadn't realised that using "Tip" as the name of the Tag/It etc game was so localised - pretty much just Colwyn Bay according to their map. 

Weirdly showed Yorkshire, where my grandad was from rather than Shropshire where I'm from!

Yes, worked for me. I think it was ‘ned’ that gave the game away, I think that’s pretty much only used in and around Glasgow 

Worked well for birthplace and formative years. Will now do it again from  South Yorkshire, where people think that muffins are cakes with blueberries stuck in them....

For some reason I was not offered the extended version on my second go. Pity.

Only one question was neccessary for this son of Sheff.

How do you pronounce Worcestershire Sauce?

Wor-sester-shire

Wustershir

'Endos

Got me spot on. A fun wee quiz.

The bit that interested me most was the variety of names for tig!

Pretty good, it got the nearest major town , even though i don’t pronounce several things the way I “should” nor use certain words that I know are common up there

It worked for I.

After 25 questions it had me as broadly from north west England.  After the full 90-odd questions it had me from southern Lancashire (the old county boundary, not the new).

As I was born in St Helens but have lived in south west England for a total of ten years or so out of my 55, and have mixed with people from all over the place, that's not a bad guess.  You can tell a lot about someone if they ask you for a barmcake.

T.

Could have just skipped to “how do you say bun/breadcake/bap/barm?” and saved all the other questions.

Or asked what you'd expect to get if you asked someone in a chippy for a split.

T.

Twag, croggie, bap and sannies seem to have given the game away and it got me hometown spot on.

Spot on with Sheffield, but I was surprised with a possible Scarborough

Hull, by any chance? Because I'm from there and those were all words I'd use.

I didn't see any soap on a rope questions

Kets, sannies and spelks sorted mine out

pretty good,  Manchester area for me,  but a small bit of Brum which is wrong,  but good fun,  cheers for sharing

Put me as generally northern England (Carlisle to Middlesborough), but some of the answers were vary particular "nicked off"; to go absent from school is very specific according to the results at the end.

Good shout though

Got me pretty much bang on the money 

Interestingly I was entirely central Scotland (my birth place and to the age of 9, and my current residence). Nothing at all in England despite 7 years as a child /teenager in Devon and university in Sheffield. I'm surprised how fixed my dialect is in Scotland!

Got me on the full 90. At 25 there was a broad region covering much of south and central Ireland.

'Head over heels' for somersault was a give away.

Stuck me in the north east of England - never lived there but my family are all from Middlesbrough - so I guess some of the words I use must come from there. 

For what????

It located me in Greater London but not to South-East London specifically.

Martin

Kingston upon Hull, don't you know.

Are you from Ireland?

I called it 'tig' as well

Got me spot on in Northern Ireland 

Hull isn't a place, it's a river. Kingston is the City, and it's on the river Hull... Kingston Upon Hull.

The only accent that contains... Furn curl (phone call), drar wart warn* (dry white wine) and Anlaby Rurd (Road)

*Each word with a long A

Yeah. I lived there for the first eighteen years of my life, so I'm well aware that nobody actually calls it Kingston Upon Hull. Except maybe people from Cottingham.

All of this is true.
