There is a story about a verse supposedly censored by the publisher as well. PJ is indeed a Southerner, hailing from God's own County. He doesn't drink shandy though!

PJ is indeed a Southerner, hailing from God’s own County. He doesn’t drink shandy though!

A Keelman was not a fisherman, he was a shallow draft sailor who would sail the Tyne and take the coal to the waiting ships. A muckman was a man who used to clean out the Ash Netties, and not a dustman as that imposter claims. It was not her breath that would scare a young cow but her face that Spyens a young coo. Her eyes are not two holes in a blanket pulled through but two holes in a blanket BURNT through. We Geordies actually speak the original English, so if PJ cannot understand it, where on earth does he come from, must be a shandy drinking southerner. What Fettle,

"The Beurt" has alas now departed. It was indeed legendary and moored on the Gateshead side because Newcastle were too snooty to allow it to moor. It was there for 25 years, but it was after my time, so to speak and I never boarded it. Apparently the revolving dance floor was actually the vehicle turntable on the car deck, it was originally a ferry. There is a translation on the geordielife.com link above.

Mind you, it was a stag do and I was probably more concerned about staying upright on the revolving dance floor. Tuxedo Princess, I think it was called. I enjoyed the vid. Would've enjoyed it more if I had understood a bloody word they are saying though ;-) I’ve only been to Newcastle once and I thought the lasses were rather attractive.
