BS2 Red Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I did this last week, it had me in the South West but more Taunton than Bristol. Which is weird as I’ve hardly ever been to Taunton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 So the game Tag really narrows the location down - it went from a very general spread of red across the south and a little midlands to BANG ... Somerset/Dorset. Any hooo my location tis - not bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Can remember my Dad telling me off if I spoke too Bristolian when I was young (no my Dad isn't Nicky Maynard!) I was also called 'posh' by a couple of girls I knew at uni who went to private schools, but then they were from the North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Had me pinned down to a house in Luckwell Road. Bloody mint quiz that as I lived from about 9 months old to 5 years old there. Would've been slightly more impressive had they got the right house in Luckwell Road instead of 4 doors down from there, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
