Geordies, also known as Tyneside Playas, are a fierce Scandanavian tribe from the Kingdom of Newcastle, whom harassed the remnants of the Roman Empire in 1972. As seen on 'Auf Weidersehn, Pet', the folk of Newcastle, are distinct from the Cockernees, Brummies, Scousers, Mancs, (slightly), Weegies, Norfolkers , Smoggies, Woolybacks, East Anglaliens, and Kalahari. They also like to think that they are distinct from the Mackems, Tykes and the Inglis of Lowland Scotland. They are often considered the English equivalents of those residing in the American state of New Jersey as both have nature television programmes showing their behaviour in the wild.
