Dialect Questionnaire

[Mathew]

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.

Age:
Gender:
Region (e.g. South West, Yorkshire and Humber, etc):
How long have you lived in this area?:
Do you feel that this area is your home?:
If you answered No, which area do you identify with most strongly?:

Please state any regional dialect terms you use for the following:
- Bread Roll
- Mid-morning Snack
- Sandwich
- Game
- Truce
- Plimsolls
- Alley

Thank you! xo
