Tald me I wa’ frum bi’tween Bura un ‘Ull.

Un-****in-canny like.


I’ve lived in Newcastle for 30 years and speak with an accent as broad as the day I first drove up the A19.

I’ve made no attempt to moderate my speech or blend in with the locals.


It’s bad enough that all my bairns are all wor Geordies.

Justine Petersen, who queued for 90 minutes to get in with her husband and her nine-year-old son, said it was "like the episode of Father Ted when the fair comes to Craggy Island".

Tickets for the event, themed around the global video game sensation, started at about £12, with wristbands for unlimited access to activities costing an extra £20.

Since the event people have been demanded refunds on Facebook.

A spokesman for Epic Games said, "The quality of our player experience is incredibly important to us, whether it's inside the game or at official public events like last year's Fortnite Pro-Am.

"Epic Games was not in any way associated with the event that took place in Norwich," he added.

Exciting Events has removed Fortnite festivals planned for Spalding and Newark from its website.

Maybe it takes you down different routes depending what your other answers are (or maybe you hadn’t don’t it and I’ve just been whooshed?)

I don't think it always uses the same set of questions DBS. I did it twice and only got those two questions second time around. The second time some questions were the same others were different.

I got the craggy and bread cake questions as well. I carried on after the first set and eventually it did make a reference to about 4 questions that i had answered were the key ones that put Hull in the centre of my map, and two of those were the croggy and bread cake ones. I think i was the same as others and had Scarborough at the top Lincoln at the bottom.
