It put me near Reading, which is a bit west of my true origins, but I think it was confused by a) a Mum who insisted we 'speak proper' and b) a smattering of words adopted from childhood holidays in Cumbria.
Pretty accurate, though.
I love this kind of thing.

Thelma, it could be that it's running some script and that you've got a setting in your browser that blocks it. In the address bar, do you get a little shield icon that warns you of scripts that your browser has blocked maybe?
I clicked the non-english button, and remarkably it placed me in the Lincolnshire area! Does that mean I'm an adopted yella belly now?
