Palace til I die said:
I was born and raised in an area (Selhurst) that the locals colourfully referred to as 'Bang 'ole.
I was born in a 2 up 2 down (sounds like a Rolling Stones song) with an outside khazi and a tin bath in front of the fire in the living room.

Beat that you Northerners.

Excuse my southern ignorance but is not fair to say that Tynemouth (and Gateshead) are all the Newcastle built up area?

In London, Wembley stadium is 30 miles and an hour away from the Millennium Dome, but both are ‘sights’ in the same city.

No one argues that the Boroughs of Lambeth and Westminster (opposite sides of the river) are different cities/town and that the London Eye and Big Ben are in different places.

Obviously just an outside observer view so I don’t know the history of the geography up there but most people down here associate both sides of the Tyne Bridge as Newcastle even though they are different local councils (like Lambeth and Westminster are). If it is more complicated like that then sorry for not knowing.

North Tyneside, Gateshead, South Tyneside and Sunderland are fuck all to do with Newcastle, other than being next to it.

No they aren't part of Newcastle

It's a bit like Sunderland claiming Durham cathedral as it's on the Wear
