Thread Name: I could have been a Makem
Subject: RE: I could have been a Makem
As mentioned on TV last night a Makem is a native of Sunderland or supporter of the football team of the same name.
Apparantly derived from the phrase "We mak' 'em they tak' 'em".
To be a Makem Robroy would need to meet the above qualification.
