If they weren't handing out the domino cards they were handing out the roast tatties and sausages on a Sunday afternoon. They'd have a wife and kids but you never saw them or their families anywhere outside of the club, walking around the area/shops etc. Ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 24549 Posted August 20, 2024 Share Posted August 20, 2024 On 16/08/2024 at 09:06, Renton said: Yeah, that's the usual response. Apparently yes, yes, Newcastle city centre is better than Sunderland but their suburbs are much nicer. Apart from Newcastle city centre, all you have is the likes of Scotswood, Fenham, Cowgate, and Byker. Whereas they have, erm, Ashbrook and Seaburn. Firstly, those two Sunderland suburbs are no great shakes, I have been there. Secondly, I actually don't think Byker and many areas of the West End are that bad (don't really know it that well tbh). Thirdly, they seem to have forgotten about Jesmond, West Jesmond, Gosforth, Spital Tongues, Heaton/Sandyford (up and coming), and Benton etc, not to mention areas of North Tyneside like Tynemouth, Whitley Bay, Monkseaton, even places like Preston or the fish quay. Also nice areas of Gateshead and South Tyneside. The proof is in the pudding ultimately, with house prices being substantially more in Tyneside than Wearside. If these places in Sunderland are really so nice, why are they so cheap? Incidentally you can buy a penthouse flat in Sunderland city centre for £70k and a normal 2 bed one for less than half that! Expand 70k???? you can’t get a garage in London for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 38299 Posted August 20, 2024 Share Posted August 20, 2024 (edited) It’s a good point though. Even if you were able to trace it back to the people who first settled in different parts of Britain since the last ice age. How would people from what’s now Galloway have the same DNA as people who settled around the Moray Firth (for example)? Yet ‘Scottish’ is a designation?

Renton 24890 Posted August 20, 2024 Share Posted August 20, 2024 It's never been something that's ever remotely interested me, including this family tree stuff. I believe you're more of a product of your environment than your genetics. And you can control the former to an extent, or at least change its course, you can't change your genetics. You can't take pride in your genetic history. I also think its a wedge to make us appear different, when 99.9% of our DNA, and nearer 100% of the important functional stuff, is the same amongst all human beings. Who is more Scottish, me, you, Paddock lad, or Hamza Yousaf? My mum, is 100% scottish/irish and 100% racist. She says Hamza Yousaf should never wear a kilt. She'd use genetic arguments to back up her viewpoint. Obviously I'm not accusing that of anyone on here, but its why I question the need for this exercise.
