Ever since I bought an A-Z of Tyneside on my way to a university interview in 1992, I’ve had fantasy twins called Jesmond and Jarrow.
My Godfather was called Jarrow!

They are two metals used to make electrical thermocouples. I spent an entire physics lesson inventing a fairy tale where the princess was called Antimony ( her loyal maidservant was named Rust) and the handsome prince was Bismuth. I managed even so to do a physics degree. Blush
Electrical thermocouples. Thank you. I may love you.
