Has anyone done the British-Irish dialect quiz?

Everyone on Twitter seems to be getting really accurate answers but it put me firmly South West & I've only been there twice! I can only think my mix of growing up in one part of the country with parents from another confused it...

I got a blank space. Will try on the tablet later.
I thought a lot of it was quite class based so I'm interested to see if it gets me. I'm northern but a bit posh so I saw lots of local words that I grew up with but would never use myself like tea, mam, bap. Obviously I do use the word tea - my life revolves around it but the kind you drink not eat

I didn't get a result, no map came up

well...I was born in Scotland until school, lived/schools in Somerset and Dorset until late teens

it thinks I am Oxford, Peterborough, Cambridge ...big diagonal red splodge over London. People are always surprised when they find out where I am from. Oh well. :o

Haha!
It put me in Central Wales! Never been there!
It did have a slight stain in the part of the UK where I was born, so probably parental influence.
And another in the West of Ireland.
Completely different accent to the part of Ireland I spent my teenage years.
So not very accurate in my case.

Yep, I am apparently as Manc as they come - pretty accurate!

Ooh

It gave me big red bits up by fort William and round Edinburgh.

I grew up in Oban and live near Edinburgh... so pretty accurate really

Mine was spot on - South Wales

Mine was also dead on.

Wolverhampton- I'm from stafford 16 miles north, so not bad

Couldn't have got me more wrong- south east when i was raised in far north west! My parents weren't local though- so I guess I didn't fully acquire the local dialect.

Mine didn't do too well. It placed me most strongly somewhere round Portsmouth or Hastings, but I grew up in Bucks.

Interesting to see that I have completely assimilated the local accent/dialect and it was very accurate in placing me in NI, although I'm not even British. Mine covered NI, Aberdeen and most of north Scotland, which isn't surprising considering I have lived in a strong Ulster Scots region for over 20 years. A lot of the words and phrases are common with Scots and I'm often told I sound Scottish over the phone.

Mine was spot on based on where I grew up. I’m very relieved to know stateside living hasn’t done too much damage.

I just got a map with dark areas all
over SE England. Which is correct but not very specific.

Mine shows a blank but when it breaks down the questions I get a map for some (not all). Annoying after spending the time doing it!

Pretty spot on - East Mids. Interesting!

Mine gave the exact town I was born and lived in al my life

Way off for me. Trying to work out why. Think I'll do it again to check,

It put me about 6 miles from where I was born and brought up!

what accent pronounces the vowel in 'rode' and 'road' differently?

Mine!

I got a blank space. Couldn't get rid of the cookie box. Couldn't type in words when asked. Yes, it is class based. There are words very local to me that I know well, but don't use. I'll try again and just use the local words.

More accurate on second go and interesting to see some of the options have been extended since this morning. Presumably through people submitting there own words for things.

*their !

It suggested most of the North of England and south of Scotland for me, but that’s about right. My accent and vocabulary reflects a variety of influences

*Presumably through people submitting there own words for things.(

Yes, I had fun putting in the most uncompromisingly local-to-my-birthplace-that-it-didn't-put-me-anywhere-near terms.
