Maccams ain't Geordies, Conrad - I'm not from thereabouts mysen' but have heard the arguements prevail!!! Be careful when you use the terms!

I had, still have in fact, a mate called Mike who was in the army for a while. He swears that while in basic training he was billeted with a Geordie and Cornishman. He reckons he could understand both of them and they could both understand him (being from the county Paletine, Lancashire) but they could not understand a word each other was saying and he had to translate!

For such a little country we don't half have some different tongues...

Way up, surry.
