Geordies on the Telly - We're Aal Ower the Place! · Jun 25, 08:29 PM

One of my favourite channels on TV is the military channel. I’m a big aficianado of world war 2 stuff, so I get my fix watching the military channel. The show that I’m watching tonight is ‘Delta Company: Push to Baghdad. A camera crew follows the 1st Tank Battalion on its missions.

During the show, they were waiting to be relieved by ‘the Brits’, and who should they interview? A Geordie. The conversation with the American commander went like this:

It’s interesting to me that us Geordies are so patriotic – not to England or the Queen – but to Geordieland. I don’t know another place like it in the world (possibly the Basque region in Spain). You may take the Geordie out of Newcastle, but you can’t take the Newcastle out of the Geordie.

A heartfelt thanks to troops protecting our freedom – no matter where you’re from.

  1. Lee – Ah, another fan of World War II.
    Other than the Military Channel – have you read any books that you would recommend – am always looking for books of that time.

  2. Hi Lee, Maybe you’ve never been to Liverpool but I can assure you that Scousers honestly believe that Liverpool is the centre of the Universe, even though they leave the place as fast as possible when they have enough money!
