Dialect Questionnaire

Hey,
My homework over the holidays is to research different dialects in your local area by using a questionnaire. I'm going away tonight, so I thought I'd post here to try and get some results; tweaking the question to suit the whole of the UK.

So therefore, I'd be happy to send some +rep your way if you could answer the following questions. If there's any question you don't wish to answer, then simply leave it out and I will leave it blank when forming conclusions at the end.
