It's been around a while hasn't it? Previously didn't work on my phone. This time it did. Annoying though, asking me what I call a sweetened carbonated beverages - my answer is "it depends what it is, I don't have a generic word for them all".
Had to skip a few. Anyway, it says I'm from south east England. Surprisingly.

North Wales/Cheshire/Merseyside - pretty much nailed-on. Although I reckon that if it had questions like "what word would you use to describe something as dirty/disgusting" or "how would you address a friend other than by name", it could almost narrow it down to the street you grew up on.
