@christianp

You have your opinion, I have mine.

By your calculation, #NorthShields #Tynemouth #Cullercoats and #WhitleyBay should all be classified as #Newcastle too.

I suppose by your logic you’re from Sunderland.

@TheConversationUK

An aside.

Why can’t the BBC (national, not local news) stop reporting that Sam Fender is from #Newcastle ? He’s not. #NorthShields

If someone was from Croydon it wouldn’t be reported as London, would it? Is it really beyond southern media to report accurately on items in the north?

The Stan Laurel statue. Standing in Dockwray Square, North Shields.
He lived in North Shields for a while as a child where his father was a theatre manager.
The statue looks over the River Tyne towards South Shileds.

A statue of Stan Laurel on a plinth holding his bowler hat in his right hand, his left hand playing with his hair as seen in many of the Laurel and Hardy films. The plinth has a plaque featuring the faces of Laurel and Hardy and is surrounded by a black metal fence on a block paved area of a park.
Trees can be seen in the background beneath a grey late summer sky.

Mastodonians of North East England…

Bit of a long shot…

If you know a Young Reader (16+) who’d be interested in being a Beta Reader for my latest novel, please get in touch.

I’ll send them a printed copy when it’s out, and credit them.

For context, it’s about a pair of teenagers in North Shields.

Sir James Knott Memorial Flats

The Sir James Knott Memorial Flats on Tynemouth Road, overlooking the mouth of the Tyne, in North Shields and close to Tynemouth, were opened in 1939. Notably, the flats were built with the threat of war in mind, constructed with fire-resistant materials and with large cellars for use as air-raid shelters.

Today was *gorgeous*! I hiked 30km (North Shields to Blyth and back) in the not-too-hot sunshine all the way 😁 A very little bit of a cool breeze made all the difference! #cullercoats #whitleybay #tynemouth #northshields #blyth #newcastle

Lovely lunch at the beach #NorthShields #Tynemouth #RileysFishShack ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I jogged 4 lengths of this sandy boi this morning. It might not be much by some folks' standards, but it's real progress for me 😀 #Longsands #Tynemouth #Newcastle #NorthShields #beach #exercise

Yesterday on #Tynemouth beach was bloody fantastic! #Tyneside #Newcastle #NorthShields #NorthEast #sunshine

Not a bad view for the halfway point of the morning's walk. #longsands #tynemouth #northshields

This is a great little pub in #NorthShields, near the fish quay.

It had a recent refit and rebrand (I forget its former name), which sadly reduced the space available as they closed the upper floors. But getting served is so much faster, as they now have all the same staff behind the downstairs bar!

Someone mentioned that staff *do* occasionally disappear, only to be replaced by identical folx; but I've never noticed it happening.

The best thing is that their prices keep dropping each month!
