I don't think you're from Newcastle unless you get a 'Geordie shiver' - we asked you what makes a Geordie
Newcastle is a hugely proud city, and no one knows that more than the people who call it home.
With that in mind, we asked our social media followers what makes someone a Geordie.
From following Newcastle United to late nights out and ‘the Geordie shiver’, we went through your suggestions and picked out the best ones.
Plenty of responders put a sporting twist on their answers, with Allan Morecroft saying you aren’t from Newcastle if you don’t “support the Mags”, with Alison Plummer and Craig Van Straten echoing the sentiments.
Nights out were also referenced a lot. Barbra Bainbridge said you aren’t from Newcastle unless you remember “catching the 2.00am train from the Central Station after a night out at The Mayfair.”
David Talbot added his memories of “Walking home after missing the last bus from Croft St in the winter in just a shirt” with Sean Kelly adding: “wear a t shirt in -10 degrees.”
Other suggestions from David Bell and Ann Richardson added the caveat of needing to love stotties.
Others were more romantic around the region. Ros Slack said locals will always “get a Geordie shiver coming over the Tyne Bridge” while Benjiman Burrell added: “you miss it every day and night.”
