22 Problems Only People From The North East Will Understand

18. Southerners Assuming You're A Geordie When You're Actually From Durham/ Sunderland/Middlesbrough

3beautifulbamfs.wordpress.com One thing that unites everybody in the North East region (outside the Tyneside area) is the fact we all hate being called Geordies. Not because we hate Geordies. Just because we're not bleedin' Geordies! Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer have both been called Geordie comedians, when in fact Vic is from Darlington and Bob is Middlesbrough-born. There is a HUGE difference, morons. Then there's the Americans and Australians, who we appear to be an alien race to. If they haven't asked you multiple times to repeat yourself already, they'll have asked if you're from Scotland.
