Someone online from a region of North England was proud that he was more of a viking than Scandinavians because the Scandinavians that came to that place were definitely going viking. Not just lazy Scandinavians that stayed home all the time on their ill-geography farms.

If his ancestors remained in England following the viking age, then he's 0% viking. I take it he's conflating vikings with the great heathen army.
