Roker near Sunderland


It's all propaganda to make out the north east is all Newcastle and that Newcastle is some massive metropolis.

At the same time down playing Sunderland as some back water.

When in reality both Newcastle and Sunderland have a very similar size population. It was only since the last census that Newcastle population over took Sunderland's

That big cricket ground in CLS is called the Riverside because it's beside the river Wear.

I even told him as children we used to either walk along the river to Chester-le-street and get a bus back or bus there and walk back along the river. He still didn't believe me and said he would have to check it out on a map.

I had my sister in laws husband telling me his father is from newcastle. I asked which part of newcastle and he said Chester-le-street. I told him Chester-le-street is on Wearside, just outside Sunderland and he insisted it was tyneside.

I used to work with a bloke from CLS who would tell people from the south he was from Newcastle. Absolutely wouldn't have it that he wasn't a geordie. Utterly bizarre behaviour. Same fella also claimed for years Washington wasn't part of Sunderland despite driving past a welcome to Sunderland sign on his way home everyday. His reasoning was it had an NE postcode :lol:

Using that logic Alnwick is in Newcastle.

I wrote on yesterday that it isn't near Sunderland, its IN Sunderland. She said it's good enough to give people plenty information where it is. I told her she's giving people plenty of the wrong information as it's in Sunderland.

She deleted it 😄

Just corrected her on her Pub stops group and she's said exactly the same thing. And 'lets leave it there'

Would it really have killed her to correct her post? Speaks volumes tbh.

Sunderland ends at the A19 imo.

Houghton Le Spring is Houghton Le Spring
Washington is Washington
Penshaw is Penshaw

Just because someone drew some lines in 1974 doesn't automatically make it part of it imo. It's not in Co. Durham nowadays either.

It's the same as Whickham and Birtley aren't Gateshead, Throckley and Dinnington aren't Newcastle and Wetherby, Otley and Guiseley aren't Leeds. They're in the metropolitan borough though.

Yes sorry just realised I blamed the wrong group in my post, it was UK pub stopover reviews for motorhomes and campervans🤣
