Geordie accents and stereotypes

6:30

can definitely tell you from

6:30

the north I love a Jordy accent and I

6:33

think most you shouldn't uh judge people

6:37

necessary but I find that Jordy people

6:39

people from Newcastle yeah are very

6:41

quite warm they're quite Bluff and blunt

6:45

they don't mince their words if they if

6:47

you're upset them they tell You' upset

don't have this Southern business of not
