My Gawd! You're a Geordie? Worked with a lot of Geordie's in Saudi
Arabia, sheep and cattle thieves all of them, bloody borderers. At least
according to the rest of the Brits that were there. They were good
workers and you could generally understand them as long as two weren't
trying to talk at the same time or if three or more got together it was
definitely a foreign tongue to normal English.

That's not to say that the Yorkshiremen nor the Glaswegians were any
easier to understand to a Yank. <VBG>

Personally I'm like Edrena, I tawk Texian.
