I mean, it is technically part of South Tyneside, as is Cleadon, but it’s a couple of miles south of Marsden and like half a mile from Seaburn, so in what geographical cluster-fuck of a world is Whitburn not Sunderland? (It is quite nice though…). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE postcodes are an unofficial Greater Newcastle to me. And NUFC is the team of the NE postcode as far as I'm concerned. If Whitburn is SR then it's Sunderland to me. It's certainly closer to the Wear than the Tyne too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I grew up in Washington (oxclose) is nearer St James’ than where I live in North Shields now. Also with Washington being a new town most people’s family frowning up hailed from Gateshead, South Shields, Newcastle and Sunderland in equal measures, among other places. I got tortured off my cousins in west Denton for saying ‘Dina’ once as a kid and never made that mistake again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Grew up in Washington and never heard a proper mackem accent ('hoyd' level) until I worked with a lad from Southwick. Though a mate (Newcastle fan) after moving just across the river from Washington developed a horrible twang to his which was as stark as I experienced - more your 'skewel' level of fluency.

TheBrownBottle Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Never felt luckier to be born and raised in Newcastle - if I’d been born south of the Tyne I’d have been playing County Durham Risk with our favourite friends 😁 Maybe we’re fortunate that South Shields / Gateshead AFC was booted out of the FL in 1960, because it would be a postcode %-based bloodbath Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve noticed coastal types say ‘dairn’nt’ and have a softer lilt than Gateshead/Newcastle in general. You can tell a heed accent by the way they say have (hev).

Gateshead is too close to Newcastle as well for it to have happened there either. Outside of the big 3 clubs, only Hartlepool have really been able to have an extended stay within the League system, and ultimately they fell out of it twice. Darlington likewise, although I concede that their demise had other factors about it. Even Carlisle on the other side of the A69 have always been strugglers, and finally look set to leave the football league system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also right between 2 big football clubs though. I guess you could argue that Burnley is with Blackburn and Preston. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
