Which category do you think you best fit in to?
You can find out once and for all by taking the Bear Bones ' Hard as nails / soft as ...' test.

21...although I have ordered the whole pot of coffee before as opposed to just the cup...and a pint of Guinness to go with it. Some days are just like that.

21pts
Though the answers to "How long have you continually worn the same clothes for?" Should be
• A month or so - 1
• a week - 2
• Till mummy says I have to change - 3
Though to be really hardcore it should be:
until the stitching falls apart

21, but I was let down by my choice of coffee over tea, and the fact the gravy should never be served with chips. Is this a quiz about how much of an adventurer you are, or how much of a Northerner? ;-)

+1
(though I am Northern, don't drink tea or coffee, don't like gravy and think beer should be -1 point on that question).
I scored well but the reality doesn't ever seem to match my theoretical answers???

I've relented and pint of tea / cup of coffee now both score 1 point ... I'm not changing my mind on the gravy though

Not all of us in the north have gravy on our chips, mainly the Manchester area I believe. Certainly in Cumbria we are more refined

Where does the gravy come from? Is it made up from bisto or something?
Edinburgh is in the Sauce Belt so we don't have aberrations like 'gravy' for our chips.

The chip shop.

I think my being northern and penniless probably helped my score quite a lot!

But where do they get it from? Or what do they make it from??
These are important questions!

I assume that it will be a powder or concentrate that they mix up.

You wouldn't have scored so well on questions involving extracting detached cleats from pedals

I scored 15. Lost a point on the Lycra, but have never slept in a bus shelter so didn't pick up a point on that one

Very true Ian, we were pretty useless at that

Oh, I'm 23 points now.
Be interesting to try this quiz again in a couple of years time
