That is completely unfair to us of Northern birth who own second homes, shop at Waitrose, and...

Hang on, maybe I've been a little hasty.

So, based on the second map, what are you?

Based on where I was raised (can't say born as that was Germany!) and where I now live, I'm apparently a self-satisfied, cider drinking, UKIP voter.

Well, two out three ain't bad!  ;D

Apparently, I'm a self-satisfied farmer. Rather that than one of the Norfolk type, thankfully.  :P

Yes, that second map is much more representative of the truth. Thank you...

Which leaves me wondering if you consider yourself "all of the above", or "none of the above"  ;D

UKIP not yet decided but probably not.
Flooded, definatly not and hopefully wont be as on a hill.
Hippie, no.

Ha! Second map made me laugh, but why is it only men who get to slide down a hill in a bath tub?  (Somewhere north of Watford)  Anyway, I think I'll move to Devon, and I don't even care how cider is spelled!
