yes peter I live in Newcastle, I am a Geordie linda

I am a Geordie born and bred. I live in Chapel House area of Newcastle. Husband comes from WAshington so hes a mackam. Son insists he isnt a MAckem - he supports Newcastle United!! Christina

I live in northumberland but was born in Newcastle, does that count? I always class myself as a geordie

I was born in North Shields and lived in Newcastle (went to Sandyford Road school) until I was eight. Then we moved to Lincolnshire. I then moved to Sherburn Hill near Durham in 1998 and we now live near Crook. I spent a lot of time when I was little at our relatives houses in Whitley Bay and on the Leam Lane Estate. Lorrainex

Hi Peter Im not a Geordie, but my dad comes from Stanley Co. Durham, which I know doesnt class him as a geordie, but as dad says there no place like Newcastle and misses the people and place even after 59 years. He also supports Newcastle United. Regards Yvonne

Boro lad myself, my sister was married to a geordie and lived in Jarrow

Howay the Geordies! And I thought I was the only one--apart from Jenny of course! I'm from South Shields, born and brought up on Grosvenor Road. Mam and Dad retired to the Lonnen. Used to go home (from Herts) to visit them. Knew I was home when i hit Leam Lane! I went to Harton comp, and a lot of my family roots stem from Harton village (suspect it wasn't quite so posh at the time!). Still got loads of family up there--mainly Gateshead and North Shields. Looking forward to coming up for the Tall Ships Race in July!

Hi Sue, my Granda worked at Boldon colliery! In fact, most of the men in my family worked down the pits, and my 7 year old great nephew probably died in a major pit accident. His dad (my Great grandad) was a screener and was killed when he let go of the 'prop' he was winding to screen the coal--it ripped open his chest, killing him. Lovely story I know but just shows how hardy us Geordies are!

Evenin all! must say i am astounded by the numbers i thought everyone on G.R. was from all over world not Leam lane/Tyne and Wear.

Originally a geordie girl, now in Istanbul, my kids - all 250 of the little darlings speak English with just a hint of a Newcastle accent. Hubby is a huge NUFC fan (and has the T-shirt to prove it! lol )

Hi i'm married to a geordie he's from South Shields, we live in Nottingham but when our kids were small and learning to talk they would say some words with a geordie accent Tracy

God,I'm getting really home sick now,reading everyones messages.

Keeping the Geordie accent alive here in South Wales.Making sure my kids don't speak any of that Welshy lingo.

thank you little kb.i even gave a geordie lesson to the kids in my sons class as they were doing a project on 'where are you from' and 'dialects'.you should have seen the kids faces,it was hysterical
