    Default Wikipedia - Mackem entry

    Is it possible to update it?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mackem

    Pre-80's inhabitants of Houghton and especially Washington had more allegiance with Newcastle and would consider being labelled a Mackam as derogatory.

    Post 1992 Newcastle gained a large support from Washington due to mass inbreeding in the Columbia and Concord areas.

    I'm not too concerned about editing the text, just wanted to highlight that at least that section of text is disputed.

    AFAIK the term was used more regularly to distinguish us from the Geordie Nation. I don't want to go into a massive debate but IMHO the wiki page is a heap of shoite.

    Ta re: the edit function, I'll give it a whirl.

    Edit: deleted the sentence that was garbage.

    Removed the part re: Houghton and Washy.

    Needs a proper re-write IMHO but I'm not a townie.
