5. Braving the cold to see the Fenwicks Window at Christmas
Each year the huge Eldon Square shop offers a new window display with thousands of people queueing to see the suprise. Even when you're old enough to start buying gifts for others on your own, we know you still feel the need to walk past! Photo: Google
6. Become accustomed to trebles
We don't condone heavy drinking but Newcastle is one of the few major cities in the UK where buying a treble isn't seen as anything odd. Head further south and you won't be able to find one anywhere and club goers are shocked at how accessible they are! (Photo by STEFANI REYNOLDS/AFP via Getty Images) Photo: STEFANI REYNOLDS
7. Heading to the coast as soon as the sun comes out on a weekend
We've all been there - no plans on a weekend and the sun starts to shine through the clouds, check the forecast and head straight to the nearest metro and get ready for an afternoon at Whitley Bay or South Shields. (Photo by OLI SCARFF/AFP via Getty Images) Photo: OLI SCARFF
8. Met someone with a Sam Fender link
When one of our own gets big, the whole region gets behind them, regardless of how they got into the person. Sam Fender is the man of the moment and everyone seems to have a story of seeing him in his early days, meeting him at North Shields' Low Lights Tavern or something similar.
