Hi lads,ive been honoured to help out an old lady down south who is an exiled geordie(her and her husband came down years ago to work in the local hospital)she is kicking on 95 now but still has all her zest for life.the craic is brilliant,she described her husband as "A BIT OF A TALLYMAN,A GADGEY WHO COULD PUT A FROTH ON A PINT OF SHERRY"she calls me "hinny"and asks after "our lass"....the geordie dialect has got to be preserved in some way spoken by the older folk,anybobody else got any other stuff?...........me and one of the lads off here are going to make a bogey and hurtle down the biggest hill we can find(the best one i can find so far is the bank down to burnmouth harbour)if anyone knows of some pram wheels kicking about that would help:D:D
 
i was born in wallsend '52 (waalsend) and for years i thought my name hoy-yee! maybe i was japanese - confirmed by years of passing swan-hunters and hearing 'hoy yo hammer ower here hinney'. just a starter for you - enjoy!
 
its always nice to hear a familiar accent when your
in another part if the country!
i was working down rotherham and got talking to an
old gent from ashington!! as soon as he heard my
accent it was "alreet wor kid howz you ganning on!"
his wife was a local and didnt have a clue as me and him
dicussed "northern matters"in our own tounge!
