Where's Rat-Faced?

No we don't.

All Vowels are hard though, so there are a lot more "a's".

eg:

Teacher = Pronounced "Tech-ah"
Water = Pronounced "Wa-Ta" with hard a's

There's also no such thing as a silent letter in the Dialect. Everything is phonetic. Newcastle = Newcassil, School = Skool etc

North Shields is generally regarded as part of the Geordie nation, although some still claim its more Northumbrian.

But then, so are Geordies :lol:

I've just looked at a map, I don't think you can spit from there to the Tyne unless you are, well erm, a long distance spitter or something.

But it's pretty close I guess.

What do you think RF?

It's right on the river, got the fish quay and everything:blink:

Were you born in the hospital like?

No, on a fishing boat.

He had a natural birth on the river.

Opposite of the Hindu thing...
