Everybody I know seems to be getting Omagh or Lisburn. I wonder if this went viral in Omagh first and they got a ton of data from there.

It is not.

I got Omagh too, possibly because I used to scheme school in my gutties.

Pegged me as Donegal. Very impressive.

Impressed. Had dark colouring from Sligo to Louth, so basically South Ulster which is bang on.

Put me right in Roscommon. Surprised at the accuracy.

Lisburn?

27 years in Armagh and 33 in Omagh.

Did it again -  Derry & Lisburn but definitely west Ulster.

Derry for me, close enough, altho surprised not to see scheming in there.  Weans was a goodun

What is the story with snails? There was a question on snails and all of Britain and Ireland was dark red for "snail" except for Waterford and south Tipp.

Omagh for me. Would be difficult to be catergorised correctly when the majority of the population from Derry live in the city and don't realy speak anything like us south derry folk.

Scarily accurate for me. Enjoyable test.
