I meant it to read as if spoken by broad Northumbrian/Geordie.

Mea Culpa, and FTR I did not downvote you. In the US, individuals speaking with these dialects face discrimination and I wonder if it is the same among select speakers in the UK?

I don't experience it personally. Though I believe there can be a tendency for people to look down on northerners, the closer you get to London.

Don't worry about it! I only meant it as tongue-in-cheek response and didn't wish to upset.
