I think a case of you can take a horse to water, but you can't make them drink it. Left it well alone.

Again, Sunderland the only city in the UK where its boundaries shrink to fit some bizarre narrative

A lot of the time it's just ignorance but there can be a football angle to it. You see people from penshaw that support the mags commenting that it's not in Sunderland,I've seen Washington mags cover the Sunderland council logo on their bins. Social media is rife for this kind of shit

In my eyes a NE postcode is a North East postcode
Bin men should refuse to empty it in that case

Washington being Sunderland comes up on here over and over again.
As someone who was born and has lived in Washington all of my 65 years, I think it’s something that those of you from Sunderland just don’t get.
Washington has been a town since around 1100 and we are proud of our history as part of County Durham.
We became part of the City of Sunderland in 1974 and I am happy to be part of it but I am from Washington, not Sunderland, and I’m not a mackem (except in football terms).

Same things could be said of Ryhope, Southwick, South Hylton, Silksworth etc... all part of Sunderland as is Washington

Possibly, I don’t know how people from those places feel about where they were born.
None of them are towns with a population of over 60 thousand, though, and I have no idea about their history in relation to being part of Sunderland.

It always tickles me that a lot of folk in Washy refuse to accept that they live in Sunderland. Its been part of the Metropolitan District of the City of Sunderland for the past 34 years.
Some even prefer to claim that they live in Tyne and Wear which is simply a ceremonial county. That's about as meaningful as saying that you live in the area that's serviced by Northumbrian Water or Norther Gas Networks i.e. they are just convenient zones set up for a particular administrative purpose.
When I was born in Marley Pots in 1952 Southwick had only been part of the Borough of Sunderland for 24 years (i.e. since 1928). I certainly have never had any issues thinking about myself as being anything other than a Sunderland lad. It's a simple fact its the name of the town (now city) in which I was born.
I have lived in washy for 50 years,and class myself as a mackem
