Thanks for the support smallpiper

And Teribus- Thanks for the explanations. I knew that a lot of Geordie words are found in Norway/Denmark.

It has often been said that a Geordie can make himself understood in Norway.

The Geordie docker once yelled to a Norwegian skipper on a boat leaving the Tyne "Where ye gannin" and the skipper replied "Aa'm gannin yem"

But nivvor mind hinnies, we Knaa we are reet.

Hadaway and enjoy yersels noo.
