Southerners still welcome in North East?


I can relate to that.
I was at the derby at SOL in Feb? 2002 and obvs being from Jarra I don't sound like a Mackem, anyhow, I'm recovering form Chickenpox and got a face like a half pound of peanut brittle so I've got a big coat on, scarf up above my nose and baseball cap pulled right down....still not even 75% and probs shouldn't have gone, but it's the skunks and I deperately want Super Kev to bang a few past Funky Given

I takes my seat in the west stand lower tier, about level with the pen spot north end, next to this fuckin awful smelling goth lass who was about 20 clem and this utter gobshite on my other side, he's got a mouth full of teeth like a witch doctors necklace and is screaming abuse at the Mags...none stop by the way, and talking pure shite in between.........I'm just ignoring him and after about 5 minutes he turns to me in a really thick Mackem accent and goes "Here, you're not a Mag in disguise are you" :eek:......I pulled my scarf down revealing less than perfect complexion and said "no, I've got chickenpox and you're giving me a bad head with your non-stop shite"
His face.....he was horrified......I was a bit offended actually because I'm a good lookin fucker really.😁
Who goes to the match and anoints themselves "Fan Police". I think he thought he was been funny with me but everyone around knew that I was their every week. Never had any other issues not even against Yorkshire clubs were I sound like I should be in the home end.
If your not welcomed and your from a few miles up the road, the rest of us have no chance 🤣
 
Depends who you interact with, there’s some great people on here and some absolute helmets.

Not sure what has gone on you didn’t venture into the politics forum did you?


I was in St Albans for the play off final, lovely place.
It was a shock moving from Hackney to the white middle class ghetto 😄
 
give me reasons for coming back home now?
I'm a southerner, been on here over two years...go look at my posting history and some of the things that have been said about me. A dozen idiots at the most, but a hundred decent folk I have great banter with. Life is all about playing the percentages, and you're not going to tell me that everything in the real world is perfect. Man up, ignore the idiots and embrace the chaos.
 
probably more welcome on here than we are 'daaarn saarrth'

Lived down here for 13 year and mostly found people rather unpleasant compared to their Gods country brethren.

Constant belittlement that we come from a shithole, and are thick as whale spunk. Right up until they decide its cheaper to have 2 houses in Roker than one down south.

Wife (no) who is foreign even comments how rude people are from the south compared to when we visit Sunderland. And there is some canny people on here too.

I've just seen you were on the politics forum? aye don't go there, that's where the monsters live, Mostly.........
Dunno if this is racist, but the unfriendliest /rudest people in the capital are overwhelmingly white.
I've not had anything said about my Southern roots. Maybe I did and didn't notice :lol:
First time for everything marra, yer absolute softy :D

My stepson lives in Needingworth, near St. Ives, and I've always found the locals up there really welcoming.
People are friendly most places you go in my experience.
Sometimes people try to turn it in to a "We're friendlier than you" competition.
Lived all over England, and rarely been treated badly.
 
Na. Lived in the West Midlands since 1985 and never once considered it to be “The South”. Go anywhere down London and they all think Brum is aap Norrf.

I still consider myself as from the land of the yackers

I never heard the term pit yacker until I started drinking down Hartlepool after leaving school.
 
I was born in Sunderland but most of my childhood was spent in Germany so I have nowhere near a local accent. Frequently get asked if I'm Australian or South African :lol: .
When came back to live in Sunderland I had no bother with anyone and was warmly welcomed. I find most people in the North-East to be open and friendly.
 
I drink ale I'll have you know 😁 The proper stuff without 2 inches of head and the flavour killed by a sparkler.
The beer argument is not one you are going to win marra.
Lived down south fo over 40 years, and the ale isn't worth sprinkling on your chips mate.
Northern beer is still the best marra.
Cold, f***ing good heed, clinging all the way down the glass.
Your warm flat shite is not in the same league man

Nobody drinks it warm that I know of. At least I've never had a warm pint except the odd one during that 4th season you only get in the South and they can't get the temps down inside. I just prefer to drink it as the brewer intended, whether that's in the North or South. I think the UK is studded in every corner with excellent brewers.

I got that for a few years after living here for maybe 2-3 years. In that way Alec Stewart and some other cricketers used to sound, probably from touring so much.

EDIT: Just looked at the (one) thread the OP seems to be basing his feelings on. It's the message board equivalent of a saloon bar fight from an old cowboy film.

why would I want to hug you after you have made it clear I am no longer welcome in the North East of England?

Why you commenting then?

I've got family, friends, work commitments down here. I love my last bit of living family in the North East to bits. Just tonight I've sent some of them surprise gift. I was planning on going back up after Easter. It's put me off.
Seriously a few anonymous people on a message board say some nasty things and you won't come back to the North East :confused:
Everybody takes flak on here at some time. Everytime I post something people disagree with, they fling shit about Australia and WTF do you know shit at me. Fling some shit back and get on with your life. I certainly wouldn't be changing my travel plans because of them.
For the record I'm born and raised in the north east but have lived in Australia for most of my life now.
