Any Geordies on here?

If so, can you tell me how you pronounce the word plaster and master etc?

I'm Yorkshire born and bred but I say "plarster/marster" rather than plasster/masster - which is very un-Yorkshirey!!!

My mum is a geordie and she says I've got that from her as that's how it's pronounced in Newcastle. I mentioned this the other day at work and they said I was talking rubbish 🤣

I'm a geordie and pronounce them plarster and marster too 😂

Plarster and Marster..which sounds very un-northern, yet I'm not posh at all, it's a quirk of the accent I think

I live in Newcastle but am from Lancashire so may not have got the regional nuances correct - but IME it’s colleagues from Sunderland/ Durham areas who say plarster and Margaret whereas those actually from Newcastle/ North Tyneside/ Northumberland don’t

Marster not Margaret! (My mum Margaret does say the long vowels though- she is from Spennymoor!)

Yeah I'm from Co Durham and I would say plar-ster and mar-ster.

Newcastle/Gateshead will tend to be Plasster, below that will be Plarster.

I was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne but grew up in Leeds (Geordie father, Scots mother) and I say plarster and marster too.

Gateshead / Newcastle childhood here. Definitely plarster / marster.

Excellent! Thanks. I shall use this thread as evidence that I'm not just trying to sound posh!!

Mum definitely Newcastle, Jesmond and Heaton, so north of the Tyne.

Married to one and he says plaster to rhyme with .... ass-ter!

I'm northern but not North East, DS is at school in Durham and picked up the plar-ster, mar-ster pronunciation within days - despite never hearing this at home.

Makes me smile.

Actually . . . Maybe more Plar-stah . . .

South Tyne here (don’t live there now) - plarster and marster. Husband Newcastle but with southern parents - plasster and masster.

Gateshead.

Plar-ster and Mar-ster here.

Geordie (posh, Jesmond) plahster
Geordie (not posh, wallsend) plast-ah

Grew up in the West End of Newcastle and it's plar-stah and mar-stah.

DH is from Northumberland and he also says plar-stah and mar-stah but with a different twang to me as his accent is softer than mine.

Ar here in Gateshead

I’m Newcastle born and bred and I’ve never heard a Geordie say plass-ter or mass-ter. I’m shocked there are so many Geordies on here saying that’s how they pronounce those words. Always plar-ster and mar-ster in my experience!

I grew up in Durham and say plasster and masster but my Geordie mam says plarster and marster. Definitely just an unusual quirk of the accent and not 'posh' at all

Definitely marster/plarster! I lived in Manchester for a couple of years and my manc mates took the piss so much when they heard me say that 😂

Geordie I say parster and marster but use a short a for bath, grass etc not grarsssss

From Shields and definitely plasster and masster.
