GUEST,Musket smiling BS: It seems living in the UK is no longer equal (75* d) RE: BS: It seems living in the UK is no longer equal 30 Jul 13

Aye Don. When the Geordie miners came down to work at our pit, the homesickness was worthy of a bit of ribbing.

In the electricians shop on the surface there was a photograph of a whale. As most of our lot went fishing, the caption said it all..

"Oop North roach"

I suppose, thirty odd years on I can admit I wrote it.

Mind you, having lived and worked at both ends, the beer was better at our end. I got by with my Collins English Geordie Geordie English phrase book. When the Barnsley lads came, I had a Collins English Dee Dah Dee Dah English phrase book.

Happy days.

Till the f*cking strike that is.
