    I'm afraid not! :)

    Actually whenever I am on holiday and I get chatting to somebody, they usually think i'm an Aussie. A few of my mates have experienced the same. Apparently our accent is similar. Don't see it myself but there you are ...!

    It's worse coming from Leeds and after getting baffled looks from saying "it's a city in the north of England" and confirming it's not near London, having to resort to 'well it's quite near Manchester'.

    'OH MANCHESTER!'

    Yes. ****ing Manchester.

    'You like Manchester United?'

    (Suicidal moment).

    Ouch! Yeah that has got to hurt! ;)

    I usually end up having to use France as a reference point actually as we are just off the coast and much closer to it than England.

    That usually requires me to justify that I live near France but am not actually French ... perish the thought! Still i'm warming to those pesky Frenchies since we started trying to sign their entire national team. :)

    Aye there is a canny split of supporters in jarrow like. Makes for some decent banter. South Shields also has a fairly even split I would say as well.

    "they make a cunny noise like"
    Even though I'm not a thoroughbred Geordie, it is cringe worthy watching people try the accent.
