  • They could even have their own country with their own passports. While we have retinal scans and fingerprints to prove our identity, they could have passport photographs of themself on a night out in January, just wearing a T-shirt. That's enough to prove citizenship of the Geordie nation.

    They could also rename customs as "Howay doon this line, man". And the new answers for "Anything to declare?" are "Why aye, man" and "Nee way".

    MissSorel is going to batter me if she sees this...

    • Maybe you could give your "professional" opinion on what do you think of this guy's accent:

      • A bit of south London but something else there. Maybe some Bloomsbury or some Chiswick.

      • lol, joe, I don't know about professional. I'm interested to know what the other English people on the site think (particularly the southerners, because it's definitely a southern accent). I'd guess he's from Swindon. Either that, or from Bristol but spent some time nearer London.

        Last time I heard an accent like that, I was in a Bristol pub with a mate and all I said was, "two pints of that, please" and the barmaid immediately said, "you boys are a long way from 'ome" in the same accent that guy has. Weirdly, I was less than two hundred miles from home. In many countries, that's absolutely nothing.

        • I'm an English Southerner. It does have a bit of the farmer about it, West Country like Bristol. Swindon might be a safer bet since it sounds a little bit more Eastern. Kind of hard to tell because he also sounds slightly retarded, and has a weird intonation, and, as he confessed himself, "has trouble with his pronunciation".

          I'm from Gloucestershire, proper farmer accent there.... arrrr!

          • No where near as extreme as Scouse or Geordie though.
