Hard working Geordies

[poj]

Having worked up and down the Country,I have come to the conclusion that geordies are the hardest working people in the country,most southeners are that lazy that even their skin wouldn't graft.

i know it wasnt meant to be funny, but hell fire thats amusing!!

[Col 666]

I've worked with a lot of geordies recently and they would work a minute's silence! Where as southerners are work shy.....only an observation in my industry (Oil and Gas, offshore etc)

I thought jokes should have a punchline.

But good effort.

I have to agree that northern lads are far superior craft wise, the southerners do have better quality tape measures than our lot though.

And the paddies are good for manholes, I find!!

[Baby Huey]

Wouldn't the Southerners have the managerial jobs, therefore don't have to work as hard.

Whereas the geordies are the labourers, which is quite a labour intensive job.

If we want to get into stereotypes that is.

Last Irish guy I worked with had a deaf cat but swore that it could lip read.

Coming from the North East, I can safely say that I can smell a steaming pile of horse st.

Actually, to be fair though. They are no worse or better than anywhere else.

Got to hand it to them. Anyone who can stay up all night drinking newky brown and still manage to go out all day stealing has got to be a grafter. . About time the trolls came out ot play.

totally incorrect,a proper geordie will be robbing at night and drinking(heavily)all day.

I bring a couple of gangs down from Geordieland most of the year, they bring their own interpreter, work sun up till sundown 4 days a week, and put t shirts on when it snows.

Good hard lads, always have a fair fight (with fists) and always turn up the next day despite lumps missing from them (unless they're banged up)

Southerners break, and drink to much tea.

looking at their work I'm surprised they went into IT

Worked with a load of Punjabi builders in 2007

Walked onto site one morning to see them all complaining about the 'Bloody Polish' over their morning cuppa.
