9/12 for me, but in my defence I moved away in the early 90's!

Fill yer boots @Markymark !

 

[guitarpete247]

9/12 but I think some of these words are probably from the west of the Pennines.

 

[TVC]

5/12 I'm not good at foreign languages.

 

[Crackle]

It's a wooly back quiz.

 

[Markymark]

A genuine 1/12 and I did try. Maybe next time I need to do it after 3 pints of warm flat beer, cover my face in soot and stand outside the dole office with my 17 children and 10 ferrets.

 

[potsy]

7/12 I must have southern blood I did not know about

 

[jefmcg]

6/12 but to me, Sydney is northern

Wag has survived intact downunder.

That's racialistic that is!

8/12, which is probably about right for a Midlander!

 

[mcshroom]

10/12 which is not bad but I hoped for more considering I've lived in Yorkshire and Cumbria. The ones I didn't get were from areas I haven't lived though; one from the North East, and one from Cheshire (which is the midlands isn't it? )

Nae bad for a Scottisher
Knew Gadgie as that word is used up here.
