Don't chips in "Fish & Chips" come with a sauce anyway?  Who eats that shit dry?  And if "chippy sauce" = "sauce for chips", isn't that the same thing as the sauce that comes with Fish & Chips?

That's like saying Burger & Fries and Fries & Ketchup:  the ketchup is implied in the former, even if outlined in the latter. 

What the fuck is going on over there?
Just salt and vinegar are the traditional dressings for fish and chips.

"Chippy sauce" is an Edinburgh speciality - brown sauce diluted with water or malt vinegar.

Other traditional sauces are curry sauce or gravy (Ireland, Wales and Northern England).

Ketchup is popular, and us southern poshoes like a bit of tartar sauce (just for fish, only salt and vinegar on the chips).

"Chippy sauce" for some reason reminded me of the word "cheeky". I hate that word. Don`t ask me why. Makes me cringe.

Disliked this quiz as some of the options were strange. I didn't see a milk and sugar option for the tea question. Changing that answer shifted me from my first result "Newcastle"(milk) to "Liverpool" (two sugars).

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Oh and I picked the Hobbit as I believe he just does the voice in that one (i.e. can escape seeing his not actually attractive face). :D

Probably for answering the sports answer as with "curling". :scots:

Actually, now that I stop and think about it, me as a Geordie isn't that surprising.  I tend to make a habit of slipping into Geordie-speak when I'm trying to annoy people. :hmm:

I don't have to take this quiz to know the answer is London.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

London, obvs.  :bowler:

You're energetic, driven and aren't afraid of striking out on your own. London may be overwhelming for some but you can make it work. It's the capital for a reason.


Uh, isn't the whole point of Get Carter that Jack Carter isn't from London?

Also, I got Belfast.
