to think all the north easteners are coming out of the woodwork in the last day or so?

[StealthPolarBear]

Every thread I go on is filled with people sayign "I'm from the north east..."
Why are you not all meeting us for cake?

Sign in here to say hi to other NEers, and tell us are you:

• North of Middlesbrough?
• North of Durham?
• North of Newcastle?

My answers are yes, no, no

Originally from Middlesbrough, now live in London and have become so posh my family think I am ridiculous.

Middlesbrough here, definitely not middle class :D

ooh good idea SPB.

Yes, yes, no. Originally from Liverpool though so only honorary northeasterner.

Am close to Sunderland, Newcastle and S Shields. Muddling- I think you are fairly close to me.

We don't always meet up in Durham- we did plan a Newcastle one a while back but something cropped up and in never got reorganised but we can travel (especially when cake is involved) Am happy to meet up anywhere and give lifts to those who need them I'm on Mat Leave at the moment so need excuses to get out of the house so the kids don't drive me insane

Ack! Should have said over the summer, not half term! Where has this year gone!?

Yes, Yes, No.

Only just south of Newcastle though.

I keep thinking I will attend the meet ups but then forget all about it

Spiggy.

Yes, I think we may have crossed paths on another thread a while ago. I seem to remember a Boldon Colliery and a Cleadon in that one somewhere. :)

I'm East Boldon

Aimee I'm in Middlesbrough too! (also not middle class haha)

Yes
Yes
Yes

Spiggy
Wonder if I've passed you on the street, seem to have been hanging around in Boldon for the number 9 bus quite a lot this week.

Im a yes yes and a yes but not by much for the last one

Yes
Yes
Yes

Newcastle

BIll and Songbird and anyone else, yes there are meet-ups! Look for the Durham thread in the meet-ups bit. As Spiggy said we will travel though we do seem to end up in either Cafe Continental or Ebony depending on the time of day!

I live where SPB lives. Born in Hull though, not been around here all that long really.

Thanks indith will keep an eye open

which bus stop muddling? If it is by the war memorial then you are very close!

From Newcastle originally but have lived in East Sussex for the past twenty years.

I am known locally, by some very witty folk, as Geordie ESP. If I gave my real name it would sound better .

Newcastle (although originally I'm a soft southern shite...) Heaton Festival in Heaton Park looks good this Saturday

Northumberland, but have lived abroad for the last 11 years, in an area with loads of Geordies :o

spiggy

The one opposite the butchers, and between St George's and Boldon UR churches. Heading south. :)

I'm from Darlington but now live in Blackhall (near H'pool/Peterlee) There's a community cafe here if you ever want a meet up, cheap grub Only open 12 til 1 though but there's a nice park for little uns. Mine are both at school all day now. Oh there's another cafe too and a nice fish and chip restaurant at the Rocks.

Dooinmecleanin my dog is only part whippet and my string broke I'd love a whippet or greyhound but ddog would go bonkers and dp wouldn't like it although he did fall for a young whippet we saw whilst in the Lakes.

I'm a bit further down. Not much though! If you see a knackered looking woman shouting at juggling a 4 yr old, 2 yr old and newborn then wave

so who is up for a great north east meet up over the summer? Come over to the Durham meet up thread and say hello- we will travel! (Can't link as feeding DS 2 so typing one handed....)

Yes
Yes
Yes (only slightly!)

So nice to see lots of fellow Geordies (although I was born and raised here I still dont really have the accent!)

I think I am north of Durham, your question confuses me

And I don;t met for cake as I am too fat and embarrassed to meet other people

ack, don't meet

Curiousmama, my DH's friend and his wife live in Blackhall. You might know them.

I didn't realise there were so many North Easterners on MN.
