Definitely not from around here are you? Your answers were closer to the average person outside of Ireland and Britain than anywhere inside it.

From just south outside of Birmingham but I suspect the bit of kiwi has made me a bit more southern

Very interesting how southern accents are more broad, covering multiple shires, yet other accents not.
Then again, so far we've had cities vs shires and that does make sense as city accents are more concentrated/distinct.
Also I wonder what words/phrases I and Sho; have crossover on?

interesting mix, i really thought Liverpool/Scotland/Northern Ireland/the Republic would have had more crossover
Also I wonder what words/phrases I and @Sho (https://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=81650); have crossover on?
i was wondering this too!
very few of my answers were shown to be north wales only (things like "nain" for grandmother and such were the only few) but judging by the answers i gave we seem to share a lot with ireland, scotland, and north england.
