    Thanks for posting - I have been to Newcastle a few times ( a few years ago ) and loved it - the people are so friendly and the town architecture is fantastic except for a couple of modern eyesores that even the Geordies didn't like.

    Be a bit careful with this one, it should be b) georgies, not a), so I'd type the actual word "georgies" out as they've obviously made an error on the competition page rolleyes.gif
    Wins since 2009 = £17,600

    MANY THANKS TO ALL OPS
