You've got to love Geordie lassies

Yep that`s Dean Street. It runs from Mosley St to Side and if you were from the Toon you would know that.

Aye ya reet. Mosley Street changes to Collingwood St further along

It was a photo from Newcastle. They have UK wide a reputation for wearing t shirts and no jackets when it's freezing. There have even been songs written about it by Geordies.

Everywhere has it stereotypes and everywhere has a reputation for something. Not my opinion just a fact

just like people from Liverpool get the thieving tag, folk from fife get the tight with money, Aberdeen get the sheep sh*gging tag and folk from Norfolk get the inbred tag.

Now some of these stereotypes are there for a reason and if you've ever been to Newcastle in the middle of winter you'll see the majority of the people are like this in a certain part of the town. Not all Geordies are like this of course. But the ones who go to certain bars and clubs are. It's a FACT!!

Now if you care to have a look at the 3 pictures again you will notice that not one person has on a jacket on apart from 1 and she is is so drunk and out of it she's lying in the snow.

Maybe you should do that and chill out!!

That`s dead right, you just don`t wear a coat/jacket on night out in the Bigg Market. They only restrict your arm movements when you`re knocking shoot out of the other bloke.

The annoying thing is that these people survive to breed, it's natural selection gone bad....

If you're going to be a race with a built in imperviousness to cold, at least do something useful with it....

I don't think it is built in, it is more like a regular infusion with antifreeze.

So, do they have to get pissed first just to go out? I couldn't think of walking even to my local (about 300 yards) without a coat in this weather, sober - or even drunk!

I think going out is just to top up what is already there.

I spent a Thursday evening in Newcastle in late November, on my tod and went down to the quayside at 7 for a couple of beers and something to eat. Last time I was there was before the area had been refurbished, for an interview at the Uni.

The architecture - the bridges, the rising roads, the houses and offices, was impressive, in that awe-striking post-industrial way. I thought that modern fancy piece on the Tyne off-set it all appositely.

Quayside pubs were very quiet, though - I'd walked around to see what was what. Maybe everybody comes out later? I entered this large pub and had a couple of lagers whilst reading the paper. Very civilised and friendly. Had a chat with the barman. Young trendy bloke.

Then had an indian across the road. Main meal, raita, nan and two pints of lager for just £14!!!!! I asked them to double-check the bill in case they had under-charged me, but no.

Then I went to Sunderland the next day, but that's a different story.

Although its canny doon the quayside, it is not as busy down there as it used to be. The favourite area at the moment seems to be around Mosley/Collingwood st, and of course the gate.

Your right about Sunderland though, what a sh*t hole

We see people walking across a very large car park in T shirts this weather. The same people have to have their homes like a sauna because they are cold!

My son is at uni in Newcastle. We often go down to visit and I must admit that much of the stereotypes are true. Certainly, in my opinion, the lads and ladettes up here do tend to wear a jacket when on the lash. As a city I can recommend it - nice restaurants and some nice bars.

Well i must be getting soft, just had the dogs out for a walk and i had to wear a gansey!

Must admit, bonnie laad, I've been down south too long and am (hangs head in shame) nowt but a softie southerner when it comes to temperature!
