when I was about 7 we used to go on holiday to North Wales, and one time we stopped at a remote house to ask for directions. When my stepdad got back in the car he said "I can't believe that man's a geordie - what's a geordie doing in the middle of Wales?" and for some reason, from that moment on I thought a geordie was some kind of subversive, international terrorist..... (for those not in the UK a geordie is someone who speaks with a Newcastle accent)
