Where are you from?

stockportaddick

Not bad for me, the heat spots on the map were Manchester and Southend. I was brought up in Abbey Wood and moved to Stockport. My accent still has a lot of gawd blimey but with a fair bit of eh oop thrown in for good measure so it was quite accurate

London and Brighton, interesting as raised in Lewisham but lived in Eastbourne for the last 25 years.

Under a gooseberry bush, that's what my mum told me anyway.

Just Brighton???

Gave me Oxford, from East Grinstead so not great

Says I'm from London / Dover - which is not bad seeing as I was born and bred in SE London, but spent a lot of my childhood in the Kent countryside

Think my accent has neutralized over the years after being away, so I answered questions on how I would naturally answer them, and it got me spot on.

Very impressed that the heat-map centred on the town exactly mid-way between where I was brought up and where I live now.

Rather less impressed with this:



What on earth are they trying to insinuate?

I got Southend and Brighton. The Southend part makes sense as I'm originally from Essex, but Brighton? Seems a lot of us got Brighton. Well I guess it is "London by the sea".

i_b_b_o_r_g

I got Dover, which is basically the posh Brighton

lancashire lad

I got London or Dover, actually a mixture of Grove Park and Tonbridge

iainment

I got Reading and Cambridge.
Raised in Slough so quite accurate I suppose.

Spread across the South East for me 

Sounds like my ex

I got between Southend and South London, which I think is fairly accurate seeing as I've lived in South East London and worked in Stratford, Shoreditch and Monument the past 5 years

Fucking Uzbekistan!!!!

Growing up in SE, living for 20+ years in Scotland, married to an Irishman and with friends and relations all over the place, I can proudly say I broke the programme! Got to the point where it skipped on after my first answer on the multi-choice...so I still don't know where I'm from.

Came up with Oxford, Cambridge and Reading, whereas it was Cyprus, Germany, Sundridge Park. Army life.

I got London which is accurate, but was amazed by the corridor to Dover.  This obviously pays testament to my annual visit to good old Uncle Harry in Herne Bay.

I couldn't be arsed to say, but I got exactly the same. London down to Dover.
Mind I did go to Ramsgate, Westgate, Broadstairs & Margate a few times as a kid

Did you mean Ramsgit, Westgit and Margit?

I was raised in Weybridge, Surrey. Test using all 100 questions showed me from anywhere in SE England from Ipswich to Portsmouth. 

But I did a similar, and much shorter,  test very recently. I think it was either on the BBC or the Guardian websites. That pin-pointed me as West London, which I thought was impressive (only 20) miles adrift. And my father had a strong Cockney accent which must have influenced me a lot.

Anyone else see that test?

AddicksAddict

It thinks I could have come from anywhere darn from Exeter to Ipswich but I was raised in Greenwich and New Cross Gate.

me ? .. Lewisham/Blackheath borders 

In the sixties, when first married, we lived in a block of flats at the top of Lewisham Hill, literally bordering the heath. I think they were council-owned as the rents were damned reasonable. My wife was a middle-class Tory and claimed we lived in Blackheath. I was working-class and a Labour activist. I claimed to live in Lewisham.

Our neighbour downstairs, a retired solicitor and local historian, told us that the parish boundary ran through our flat and there could be a fault-line running through our double bed.

I would add that I did not become a Charlton supporter because we moved there. On the contrary, we moved there because I was already an Addick, despite my wife wanting to live nearer Croydon. I am proud to say I rescued her from her Palarse family and she became a keen addick, even to travelling to away reserve games with me. She had the hots for Harry Gregory and Graham Moore.

I've lived in Lewisham my whole life. 

The three main towns its given me are Brighton, Reading and Norwich, with SE LDN being very dark red. 

So pretty much spot on.

The scary thing is that my girlfriend has been living in Norwich the last 2/3 years whilst being at uni there and it seems me visiting her there has translated to my accent already.

I get Cambridge/Reading/Brighton on the short form, and a spread from Southend to Brighton on the longer version. Given I've lived in London my whole life, it's in the right neck of the woods, but I wouldn't call it accurate.

Cambridge/Brighton.

The heat map was scattered around the South East. A large chunk covering Medway and Swale across East Sussex.

My American wife did it and got Plymouth. Not sure how that works!
