Sunderland.......

I must be Greek. LOL

If I were you, I wouldn't call a person from Sunderland a "Geordie".
As the picture indicated he/she will put you right in a split second. "we are Mackems, not Geordies"...

Not Geordies. Monkey Hangers.

No.
The famous Monkey Hanging episode happened in Hartlepool.

Your thread was called "Sunderland"

According to the presented evidence, it seems my wife is a 'Greek'
I'm an 'Egyptian', and a good friend of mine is a Geordie (I think)
She's from South Shields and sometimes I have no idea what she's talking about.
Although, oddly, my wife seems to be able to follow.
Actually, I've noticed my wife is pronouncing some words in Geordie speak.

Yet other times she seem to be speaking in Ossie.
Sometimes she'll tell me she's going shopping to-die (today)
