Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 15, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 15, 2019 Pretty much on the nose for me. Lived around Lancashire until I was about 20, followed by a couple of years in the glistening metropolis that is Barnsley then , aside from a couple of years back in a BB postcode I've pretty much been in Manchester for the best part of the last 15 years. Apart from that brief spell in Stockport, but I didn't socialise with anybody from outside work or my existing circle of friends for that time so might as well have not lived there, and it was morally Manchester anyway. I was 2 minutes walk from an M postcode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewster McCloud Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 It had me pegged as a Scot and where I actually grew up, which is weird because I don't speak in Scotch as it is the language of the guttersnipe. Hoots mon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 My map was a lot less focussed than most of yours, but despite growing up on the south coast, it thought I was most likely to have come from either Oxford or Cambridge! Â So my uni time seems to have played the biggest part (possibly the use of the word "townie"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted February 16, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 16, 2019 Wow, i’m shocked! With English technically being my second language I thought it would throw the system off but I think the inclusion of ‘Nain’ for grandmother and ‘Mam’ for mum was able to capture that.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted February 16, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 16, 2019 Very broad dialect for someone who has always lived within ten miles of Southend. I do fight the estuary-ness I suppose. Fun quiz though, little amuses me more than asking UKFF why they don't call it a roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nain wasn't on there yesterday. I like to think mine and chokeouts write in votes for it changed their minds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pier Six Brawler Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I can accept a lot of synonyms for bread roll but not "teacake". I worked in a fish and chip shop in a holiday camp in Lincs in the 90s and heard all sorts of bullshit. I had someone ask me for a  "chip batch" and I had no idea what they meant, I thought it meant a massive portion of chips, and someone asked me for "one of each" meaning "fish and chips" which makes no sense at all. It should mean one fish and one chip and I can't see anyone being happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should mean one fish and one chip and I can't see anyone being happy with that. I've posted this in the Chippy thread before, but a question once came up on Eggheads where the answer was that, in Ireland (specifically Dublin), fish and chips was traditionally referred to as a "one and one". Did a bit of reading, and it turned out that was because the first time fish and chips were ever sold in Ireland was by an Italian couple who sold it from a cart in the street. There was such a queue that the woman took orders from the customers as they lined up, saying "uno di questa, uno di quella?" meaning "one of this, one of that?" Obviously, a portion of each. Love that bit of trivia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
