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

Yes.
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?
