A lot of those have filtered down to the icy, frozen smoglands of the People's Republic of Teesside. I have to go to the Doctor's to get me shots before I venture North...

Reading the list f geordie sayings made me smile my mum was a "Sanddancer " and when she lost her temper with us kids she'd revert to here childhood and tell us all off in pure Geordie.Happy days
A pupil handed in an essay on the subject "What did you do last night?"

LOL @ Sand dancer. Did she come from Saudi Shields?
She did indeed blackadder,and proud of it,she never forgot her birthplace even though her family moved down here in 1926 when she was 16.
If she came from North Shields rather than South Shields she would not have been a Sand dancer, she would have been a cod heid.
I think she'd preferred to have been a Sand-dancer then a fish head
Shipyard slang. South Shields, Sand dancers from the large number of arab immigrants. North Shields, cod heids, because that's where all the fishing boats landed. Wallsend, Hillbillies, because there was a steep climb from the dock to the town centre.
