Grew up in Donny and lived in the NE for last 26 years - I only go to hull when we play them....

Saw that yesterday. Pretty much Bob on for me. It's got me in an area that looks to be bounded by Sheffield, Huddersfield, Thorne and Selby which puts Conisbrough/Denaby about dead centre I'd have thought.

Bloody Scarborough/Kingson upon Hull!

Ignore the town names. That's just randomly picking out towns in the area. Look at the colours of the map.

Although I've never felt comfortable round your lowlanders from the wrong side of Donny. Maybe tha's really Humbersiders after all, like I allus thought.

Sheff/Leeds/Scarborough

Interesting that there's summat in all our responses that's flagging up Scarborough. I've just done the full 96 question version and it's nailed the main region reight darn to South Yorkshire and southern West Yorkshire. But there's still a little blob at Scarborough.

The traditional holiday destination of choice for south Yorkshire folk, then some of them ended up staying?

We were a skeggy family when I was a kid, always regarding Scarborough as rather posh.

You Sheffielders from Denaby can view in awe at the great lowlands of Doncaster when you are at the top of the hill coming out of Consibrough i to Warmsworth

We couldn't see Denaby from the top of the Crags for the smog when I were a bairn.

Would you really want to see Denaby?

Bang on epicentre around Balby (well nearly - worryingly exact same map as BST)

Mine said Bentley with a touch of Cambridge. Must have developed a hybrid accent during my uni days.

Teesside, where I hail from, not Donny where I've lived for 55 years - fascinating
