PandaNot · 16/06/2011 16:07

Yes No No Durham City for me, originally Middlesbrough so I haven't moved too far!

It's like invasion of the north easterners....

MummyDoIt · 16/06/2011 16:36

I was brought up on Teesside. Defected to the south more than 20 years ago. Still have a northern accent, though!

DamselInDisarray · 16/06/2011 16:39

Yes, yes, no for me.

Newcastle is most definitely the nearest big place to me. I've never been for cake as I'm too inept to find out where/when and too lazy to drive to Durham and I'm supposed to be working.

SongBirdsKeepSinging · 16/06/2011 16:42

Are the meet ups in Durham then?

Geordieminx · 16/06/2011 16:42

Darlo

foxy76 · 16/06/2011 16:49

Yes no no

CassiePalmer · 16/06/2011 16:49

Yes, yes, no for me, though was North of them all till I was 22. I still call Northumberland home though and got married in Bamburgh.
I'm used to where I live now but only since kids have started school, before then I kept myself to myself.

DamselInDisarray · 16/06/2011 16:50

No, I'm in Newcastle.

EvianBaby · 16/06/2011 16:51

Durham city here too! I didn't realise there were so many of us (especially around Durham too!)

hiddenhome · 16/06/2011 16:51

I live in North Durham Grin

I was born in Newcastle.

DamselInDisarray · 16/06/2011 16:52

I'd call 'home' north of it all though, by quite a bit. I find it hard to think of this as 'the north east'.

M0naLisa · 16/06/2011 16:58

no no no but i am from east yorkshire, nearer to north yorkshire though.

Taghain · 16/06/2011 17:02

I'm in exile from Stockton, now living 270 miles away.

PotteringAlong · 16/06/2011 17:04

Durham here too! Starting maternity leave in oct - would love to come for cake then if I'm allowed!

MuddlingMackem · 16/06/2011 17:08
  • North of Middlesbrough? YES
  • North of Durham? YES
  • North of Newcastle? NO

Closest big town - Sunderland

Anyone fancy a meet up in South Tyneside or Sunderland over half term? Ocean Park in South Shields is good. :)

I wonder if the people who always say MN is only for middle class mothers from London will be reading this.....
