The mag who claims someone from Seaham is a geordie

Spot on marra..It was the late 1970's when I first even heard the term Mackem..

 

OK My apologies Mr R A as you have obviously supported Sunderland thru a bit of thick and mostly thin as all Sunderland supportes have. PS I never heard the word toon until 1992.

 

Is that when you where born? Because I've certainly heard it a lot longer.

 

Well I'm Co. Durham, born & bred & no way do I consider myself a Geordie because I'm not.
Furthermore, I hate it when on holiday & ****ers assume I am one because of my accent.

It's like calling some ****er from Southampton say, a Cockney.

 

That bit is certainly true..

 

That's fine Billy I was just pointing out that back in the 60's, 70's and 80's when I was growing up anyone from the NE was a Geordie not just folk from Newcastle. You can class yourself what you like marra.

 

Nee Bother mate, it just gets on my tits that the rest of the country assumes that the north east starts at Gateshead & ends at Gosforth, .

I am not, never was & never will be a Geordie.

I've shagged a few, fell in love with one & fought with loads but will never be one nor will I ever want to be.

 

Aye that gets on my tits to.

 

I got that a lot when i lived in Ireland, but as I'm a Newcastle fan it didn't bother me - I would just say "I'm not a proper Geordie, I'm from County Durham" - didn't tend to mean much to them 'cause they were usually steaming anyway

 

I feel more at home in Belfast than Durham marra but it ****ing grind's my ****, you know that?

 

I was born a yorkshireman but have lived all my adult life in County Durham, have a mackem dad and brother and often get mistaken for a Smoggy by Geordies and Yorkies alike..... oh and I live in Consett so I'm well and truly fooked...

 

Ilove Yorkshire.

Puddings, with gravy, mustarsd & hiorseradish.

Fuuck Iis knsaachkered. Albrret..,;

 

Sorry, meant Albert.,
