Sorry @MaxPete The bit you posted is Yorkshire. They're called Tykes. Geordies are in the North East. (Though NOT nearby Sunderland - who are Mackhams and hate Geordies - and not from the town across the river, Gateshead - depending on who you ask - and certainly not Durham, who are southerners.
Note bairns = children, taaaalk not talk, "the fust time" not "the first time"

This is Bob Fox. Just because I love him. I lived in Geordieland for 35 years and although not a Geordie I am "affiliated" and have three Geordie "bairns". Their grandfather, my dad, was from Dublin and he used to say, "Whit are they talking about?" when they climbed onto his knee. I used to say, "Aaah divvent knaa." (I don't know.) LOL
