Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. People think that us Yorkshire folk are thick. 'Ooo-arr' and all that, riding a tractor and suffering from foot and mouth. Put your flat caps and whippets away though, folks, because some of us are very cosmopolitan. Sheffield, Huddersfield, York, and Hull are all bustling cities now. Some of the most prolific city dwellers in Yorkshire are the Leodensians. Where do the Leodensians live, though?
2. We have these people all over the country. The butt of many jokes, these are the people who usually inhabit council estates. It is said that if you have children called Britney and Kevin, three husbands, and perforated zinc covering all your windows, you are most likely a ... what?
3. The second biggest city in the British Isles. The Bullring centre, Frank Skinner, and people offering me a 'cup of tie', oh my! It's all very strange. There are people around on the street whining about nearby Dudley and putting down Sutton Coldfield. I guess we must be surrounded by Brummies. I guess we must be in Birmingham. Which county is Birmingham in, though?
4. We're in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and surrounded by Geordies. Bairns, the Magpies, and Newcastle Brown Ale. It's all going on! It's terrible, but there are a lot of negative stereotypes and preconceptions about the Geordies. Which of these is NOT a common one?
5. We're in a big Scottish city now, famous for ports and the people being incomprehensible! I guess it must be Glasgow! Which fictional character will most people think of when they hear the word 'Glaswegian'?
6. This is a large city in the north. Coronation Street gave us a clue as to what the people are like, but not all of them are Jacks and Veras. In fact, hardly any of them keep pigeons and whippets any more! This city is a huge business area, and has been called 'the Gay centre of the UK'. Which city is this, and what are the inhabitants called?
7. Apples and pears, Rosie Lea, and all that Cockney gibberish! Maybe it's because she's a Londoner, but she doesn't see the people of our capital as loud and brash. It's just a shame everybody else does! Outside of London, people don't always see the finer points of the city. All we think about are the stereotypes! Which of these is not instantly associated with London?
8. 'Ey up!', we're on the Mersey! 'Brookside' and 'The Liver Birds' were both set here, and this was (unbelievably) voted the 'City of Culture 2008'! The Beatles and Cilla Black (real name Priscilla White) both come from here, and like the Londoners mentioned before, they are also widely accepted to be loud and outspoken. You must know the name of this city by now! Where are we?
9. A lot of the more hostile Brits call the Welsh 'Taffies'. Home of the daffodil and the leek, Wales and its people aren't best pleased with this moniker. Especially since it is a perversion of one of their most common names. What name has been twisted to form the word 'Taffy'?
10. This county in the south of England is famous only for Stonehenge, Salisbury Hill, Salisbury Cathedral, Salisbury Steak, and all of the U.F.O sightings! There are other towns in this county, though, like Warminster, and although the people are considered to be wheat chewing dunces, there are no more farmers in this area than anywhere else. Which county do these stereotypes belong to?
