In the real world, the Geordie accent is usually specifically associated with the city of [[Newcastle]] and the surrounding [[Tyneside]] area. Many areas in the North East are considered to have their own local accents distinct from Geordie, such as {{w|Mackem}} in [[Sunderland]] and {{w|Pitmatic}} in [[Northumberland]] and [[County Durham]]. These accents have not yet been referenced in DWU media, nor has the Geordie accent's link with Newcastle. | |||
