Welcome aboard Mirranda, I'm sure you'll like the amosphere here.
Re this growing "Celtic " threat and invading Yorkshire, I suppose as always its down to the Geordies to keep them at bay, ho hum...

Supposedly, the name 'Geordie' stems from a edict of one of the King Georges, ie 'cos only the Tynsiders would take on the invading Scots army, as a from of (cheap) gratitude he apparently said "I'm so pleased with the result that you can call yourself "George's People".
I think these days most Geordies would have preferred it if the line across the country from Carlisle had been drawn a bit lower down :flame: :sofa:
