A fun quiz that can tell where you come from has grabbed the internet
On answering each question, a map shows the likelihood of your answer relating to a particular area – like this one for ‘Scally’.
Eventually, your map pops up, looking like this – but more accurate.
The quiz has grabbed the attention of a lot of Twitter users.
This is fun – got me within about 20 miles of where I grew up, despite me answering *as I talk now*. UK dialects are wildly specific. https://t.co/XywuFjs3aI

The New York Times British-Irish Dialect quiz is uncannily accurate, my accent turns out to be a mishmash of accents from a number locations in the UK I've lived in for several years.https://t.co/oZ3DU2fcSz

This is fun but I did add my own replies. What do I call a long piece of furniture for sitting on in in the lounge? I call it "a fucking sofa" etc.

The very funny Joe – or @mutablejoe – got a question the rest of us missed, and it’s certainly a clincher.

Stalking Jack, obviously.
Anyway, why not try it yourself, here, and let us know how accurate you think it is.
