Oddly enough Geordie is like Dorset retain Anglo Saxon where Geordie area was not really invaded by vikings, allowed an accent separately from today modern English.😉 European language rely heavily on book language not influenced by outsiders so...

Reminds me of when I was at skool. We got a trainee French teacher, when she got off the ferry at Dover the bloke checking her passport asked her why she has come to England. She told him she was going to the North East to teach kids French. He...

Should be on the Joke thread.
