How Northern Are You?

I thought Gateshead was canny northern.

No word from Dayvo yet?

Gosh 45%

-44% for the 'Gosh'

85% - without even stretching the point a bit. Last time I lived in the North was 1974.

I had black pudding a few days ago - to season in a Jerusalem artichoke mash that was lurking in the freezer.

65% nerthan, somewhere around Doncaster. Bout right, born in Yorkshire to Mancunian parents (the shame!). I've lived as far north as Northumberland (proper 'thumberland, not that London suburb Newcastle) and have now settled in Hampshire.

If it helps, I was in Surrey at the time. I think some of the ingredients will have been bought in Waitrose in Buckinghamshire.

FFS, don't ever, ever come back North and speak of this

45% northern, apparently. I was born in Bristol and grew up in Dorset (slightly north of Bournemouth, but not much). But I've lived in Yorkshire for... oh, thick end o' sixteen years.

 

[Piemaster]

Pffft. Anyone who's done that quiz isn't northern. Or even thought about doing it.

I'm right northern.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I'm 80% northern apparently, which is strange because being Scottish I am more than just 'northern'.

Personally I put it down to it being a north of England test and not knowing all the intricacies, colloquialisms and local terms.

 

[jazzkat]

100% here, never in doubt

Anyway, apparently Northerners don't prefer blackpudding and chips with gravy any more:

That's a bold claim for the humble Parmo. Still, it beats jellied eels any day of the week.

Almost anything beats jellied eels I have lived in London all my life and would never touch them, pie and mash is quite another thing
