    Nobody has mentioned the big building in York full of lovely steam engines and all stuff that goes with them.

    I love the way they changed the name of Boultham Crescent to Kit Kat Crescent, sweet name for a football ground!

    I got Wolverhampton as well.

    But I suppose being dragged up in Watford by Scottish parents somewhere in the middle would be about right.

    Och aye the noo - innit ?

    I also got Wolverhampton - do you think my maternal granddad being from Sunderland might have something to do with that? As far as I'm aware, the rest of my family are from the South and South East.

    I did it again cos I actually noticed there were questions in black which were barely visible. I am from York with 80%, quite happy with that, nice part of the world.

    Lost my deposit - possibly has something to do with living somewhere where there isn't any party politics.
