Closely followed by Newcastle itself in the “pointless bits of metal sticking out of the ground” competition

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again…bloody southerners
shhdontwakeher asked: I go to teesside uni and people keep asking me to say stuff in my geordie accent. "jaffa cakes" and "super duper computer" is proving to be a hit, but i'm struggling to think of any other phrases to keep my audience entertained ;D any suggestions? (oh, and super duper computer is an excellent way to differentiate between mackems and geordies, for those who get confused between the two. although how they get confused i don't know, we're clearly completely different)
The standard ones I get in Scotland are “ho’way man”, “Byker Grove”, “photocopier” and “hadaway and shite”.
Shakaholic isn’t the only thing exclusive to the north east!
You won’t find peas pudding anywhere other than the north east!

Or weathermen, or anyone for that matter. It’s NYUCASUL
knightsofjamelotgotlokid asked: The thing is most people don't realise I'm from Newcastle because I don't have a really strong accent (until I mention greggs). It's quite sad, really.
I feel your pain pet. My accent is reduced to just a twinge because I’ve lived away for a while. People still ask me to say “super duper photocopier” though. And Byker fucking Grove.
