Marra = mate.
I think it's from mining, you went down the mine with a marra, someone to look after you.
Or I could be wrang like
Yer not wrang, yer marras alway looked after you and you looked after them.
It's a term that's passed into general usage in the Durham area but it'll probably die out with my generation, I've started getting called "bud" by some of the younguns and that really pisses me off.

Hi,
As a moderator on www.westbrom.com we run a weekly view from the opposition where I ask you a set of question and you respond with your answers. Later on this week I shall form an article with a selection of replies and post the article into this topic later on this week.
Apologies to the admin of the site if this is breaking any forum rules. Any replies are appreciated.
1. What are your opinions on the start Sunderland have made to the season?
We're not losing too many but we haven't won too many either. Performances have been vastly improved in the last few games so it looks as if we're clicking into gear.
2. What are your opinions on the start WBA have made to the season?
Very impressive. You play nice football and attack with pace. It'll be interesting to see if you can keep it up.
3. You've made a slow start to the season, is Martin O'Neill the right man to take Sunderland forward?
Yes. Slow start but not terrible. He's assembled a good side and we're starting to gel now.
4. What are your opinions on WBA as a football club alongside it's supporters?
Always preferred you out of all of the midlands clubs.
5. What are you expecting from Sunderland from the remainder of the season?
Top 10 finish.
6. Where do you reckon WBA will finish and do we have a chance of Europe?
Top half/mid-table. I don't think you'll be challenging the European places.
7. What players in your team should we look out for, and who in our team do you reckon will give you the most problems?
Fletch scores whenever he gets a clear chance at goal at the minute. Something like 6 goals in 11 shots. Johnson is starting to show how good he is and Sessegnon's goal against Fulham will give his confidence a major boost. Long and Odemwingie are both very quick whilst our centre backs aren't. Mulumbu is a very good player as well though i'm looking forward to seeing him lose the midfield battle against Cattermole![]()
8. January is looming, is there any particular position which needs strengthening?
Cattermole desperately needs a partner. He is a superb, combative midfielder but he needs someone beside him to get on the ball and makes things happen. Someone like James Morrison
9. What side is Martin O'Neill likely to choose on Saturday?
The same side that beat Fulham, though I hope Gardner replaces Bardsley at right back.
10. And finally, score predictions.
2-1 Sunderland. Fletcher and Sessegnon for us. Long for you.
Thanks
And here's to an entertaining game!
