It got me, but it covered a fair swathe of the UK in doing so. I'd have liked it to have given me it's "best guess" along with the possibles. |

I'm from everywhere, apparently. Which I guess is right - born in the South, grew up there, but lots of time in the North and some overseas, just to mess it up a bit. Attachment: Screenshot 2019-02-16 at 13.28.08.png

Yeah, I generally told it what I called things when I was younger, rather than what I say now. I don’t think I uses Any regional words as I child tgat I don’t use now, or vice versa. Maybe ‘bunk off’, but I guess that’s mostly because it’s something you only do as a child (well, not me, but those that did). |

Been nosing at https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ this morning. AI-generated photos - just refresh the page to see a new one. It made me wonder - if you were looking for stock photos of people to use on a website or whatever, I wonder if there'd be any copyright issues involved in nicking creations from this site. |
