Hi from Gateshead

[Steve]

Easy dude, my team mate is a Blackpoolian and I'm Wiganese. Mind you doesn't say much that we've both been in Reading for 10+ years

Long live the M6...got me out of a dark hole many times

BBQing is a much needed distraction living in Gateshead I assume... It was quite possibly one of the most depressing places I've ever been too. And in live near Blackpool!

Welcome to the forum!

In that case you obviously have been to the wrong area. It's not all Get Carter style slums up here!! I am sure that you Southerners have undesirable parts also.

Dunno Mate,

Anything North of the Gap and I start to worry....although, you have to love the Toon Army and the Makems, y'know? Keeping the Sweaties out 'n' all!!!

Seriously, only joking!!!

Aye that wall was a good idea. (I am only joking too)

I don't mind the friendly banter but a blatent insult gets my hackles up!!

Closer to the Toon than Slumberland

Completely agree Mate....we're all limp wristed, Southern Softies down here!

Not quite sure where the insult was ,,,,anybody care to direct me?

Think it was the Gateshead is depressing post John. Read like a joke to me too but then again it was a Lancastrian who posted it and both you and I are Lancastrians so maybe it's just the northwest sense of humour that doesn't translate that well.

Yeah, must be the Lancastrian sense of humour coming through. We are funny folk...
