Thread Name: On Translating from the Geordie
Subject: RE: BS: On Translating from the Geordie

I was always told by Newcastle people that one of the nutty King Georges being worried about the border wars, wanted it confirmed that the Northumbrians were loyal to the throne. He was happy when it was confirmed that " they were true Geordies". Thus the name stuck. Ard Mhacha.
