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...

It was spot on for me !

It's very good.

I'm Welsh but have lived in the South of England for many years and the area it shows both those areas in my results.

It gives you an option to do more questions to get a more accurate result. I think there's 90 odd questions overall.

@Sakura7 does it? I couldn't see that option anywhere.

I did the extra questions and it gave me a different county but still wrong.

Brizzle -- I got to the extra questions by filling in my actual place of birth in the box at the end of the basic version.

Slightly north of me for where I'm from but given my mum is northern not a complete surprise!

Spot on for me too!

Very accurate for me. East Midlands.

Mine gave me a town about 10 miles to the north of where I live / was brought up so it was fairly accurate .

As other posters have said there are particular words it has picked out which are mainly used in this general area .

Spot on.

It was close, but it’ll be hampered by not actually being very accurate about dialectical usage - for example it gave ‘nesh’ as an option for want you might say if you were cold, along with freezing etc. Nesh is a midland dialect word for someone who is soft, particularly in relation to bad weather, so not quite the same thing...

Insanely accurate. Has both the area I was born and lived the first part of my childhood, and the area we moved to and I finished growing up in, highlighted. That is weird. I'm impressed!

It was very accurate especially when i did extended version.

Very accurate

Mine put me in Scarborough or Wales.

I've never been to Scarborough in my life and have only passed through Wales a couple of times.

Spot on for me.

It put me smack in the middle between the place I grew up and the place I've lived for over a decade so I suppose that makes sense

I did it twice. First time it got it right but two of the questions had answers that are very unique to where I live. The second time I chose more universal answers to just those two questions and got something totally different.

Spot on for me.

I still live within 25 miles of where I grew up though.

Yep, spot on!

Worryingly accurate!
