I was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and raised in Stockton-on-Tees. Does that count ?

Looks like foreign language....

My manager just moved to Newcastle as he found job there. I think he was little worrying about understanding people .

iwona,

A small part of it is old English and there are some Viking words too.

Most regions in the UK have words and phrases that confuse foreigners.

Another problem with North-East folk is that they seem to have invented their own grammar.

Yeah, I lived up in Sunderland and Newcastle for a few years - I couldn't understand a bloody word. I ended up interpreting between a Geordie lad and a scouse bird one weekend in Liverpool, that was fun.

Just surfed in as I'm visiting Krakow this weekend. I live in Barnsley where the men are men and so are the women.

You know it shows English - yoy really like to be little different, original...

Size of England is probbaly similar to Poland. We have different accents in different regions but in general we understand each other. But here.. Liverpool, Newcastle, ...what about Scotland, Wales....

What am I to say "poor foreigner" as you don't always understand each other .
