I went to university in york, a mere 100 or so miles from my home in durham. Freshers week my mate who has a cross Glasgow/Geordie accent, thanks to living up the road with Glaswegian parents, joins me in the student union. We proceed with our best chat up procedures and at one point a lovely but ultimately dim young lady says to my barely comprehensible mate..."I know you're a Geordie but why are you with an Australian..."
I live less that 300 yds from him and my parents have never left the north east you dozy woman. He thought it was hilarious and I milked the aussie angle for all of 15 mins before I got bored.
