A little quiz where do I come fro based on the language that you use
Five minutes time and I found accurate and interesting
You can do it on your phone but best on Tablet or pc/laptop gives heat maps where the word are from

Three of my children have done it even though they have lived away for many years they show as the city of their birth
Myself I don't show as that city I was bought up 4 miles outside of the city and show as the county even though 2/3 rds of my life have been spent in the city .So is it the childhood thats the influence and defining factor

Tried again and it drew a diagonal line from North Norfolk right down to Southampton. At least that bit was correct and stuck me in the right country.

Had me in London but questions like bairn for baby or brass monkeys for the cold are more regional and probably load it and outweigh the other 20 answers.
Will you support Germany against England in a football match? If the answer is yes, chances are you don't live in England and most likely live in Scotland.

I suspect that pronunciation has a huge bearing on the outcome. Even my 4th word is different in many cases, ( maybe the school you attended)??

I feel cheated, it was so out for me. I had another go and was scrupulous in the answers, but it still had me anywhere in the South or East of England.
