Anyone from the UK?

I missed this. Grew up on Tyneside so anybody else's claim on oop north is null and void. Unless they're Scottish.

West end of Newcastle. Used to go on foreign holidays to Berwick.

 

[cdstefi]

Which bit of Tyneside? Your answer determines who is more Northern

Jarrow

Same here. Loved the UK 3 day weekend getaway! Hopefully return in April!

Druridge Bay, or South Shields if we couldn't afford the petrol.

TBH I've not been a Geordie since age 11 or so but I'm still fucking claiming it. I had baths in a tin sink in the kitchen FFS!

 

[NorthernCardinal]

I'm from South Shields. Looks like @English_guy_bkk has us beat with northerness

Aye I didn't want to use phonetics in case I looked like a bleeding southern wannabe

I'm not quite that old.

Our shitter was out the fuckin back yard and full of spiders. Right big hairy bastards

There was a queue no doubt..and the bar of soap

God, those people who are ready to party when the rest of us are checking out because tomorrow = Monday

*Gets the glow-sticks out.*

Let's paaaaarty.

Oh fuck it. Let's not. I'm old and I've had a hell of a day.

 

[cdstefi]

We eventually got an inside bathroom and felt right posh. Still had dry rot in the cellar though

 

[NorthernCardinal]

Christ. Looks like I had a sophisticated upbringing. We always had an indoor netty and hot running water.

 

[cdstefi]

Lecky bar fire in the lounge and TOTP in B/W on the telly. No heating in the bedrooms

The bathroom was still downstairs though?

Complete with Jimmy Saville?

 

[NorthernCardinal]

On TOTP not in your tin bath

Out back of the kitchen

 

[cdstefi]

Not sure if he'd happened back then. My big TOTP memory was Arthur Brown with his flaming crown being the god of hellfire.

 

[NorthernCardinal]

I've seen Arthur Brown live a few times over the last 20 years.

I appear to have returned to some sort of Victorian version of the UK thread?

Aye, I'm turning Geordie just reading it.

 

[RosewoodTulip]

Evening all.
What's everyone been up to?

I have no idea if this is a euphemism or not
