A true Geordie-speak story:

Shortly after arriving on Tyneside (around 30 years ago, and I'm still here!) I went to Newcastle's Central Station, and asked for a ticket to Corbridge - a village about twenty miles to the east. The official at the window shook his head and said: "Yer hevter pee on the Treen!" This left me baffled. For folks of my vintage, the Treens were inhabitants of the planet Venus, whose dastardly plans for the conquest of Earth were frustrated by our comic book hero, Dan Dare - Pilot of the Future. For a moment I had visions of doing to the Mekon (the chief Treen)what DD had been wanting to do to him since the comic strip began. And then it clicked - the ticket man was telling me that I had to PAY on the TRAIN. What a relief!

Wassail!
