One of my ancestors was a pirate, he suffered "death and immersion" in the 18th century. Seeing as he came from Whitehaven, he probably talked like a Geordy and said "eh, marra!" at the end of every sentence.

Noooo! Whitehaven is not Geordie at all, that's why they built the Penines. No Geordies I know say eh marra either. Death and immersion sounds like a lowly landlubber punishment for a fine Gentleman of fortune such as your esteemed ancestor.

I know it's not Geordy, but people from south of about Preston hear a West Cumbrian accent and think it is, some people even think I'm from somewhere in the North East, I was born in Lancashire N.O.T.S. F.C.S.
