You will be glad to know that I survived the Mackem hordes at the Premier Darts League at Seaburn, alias the Costa Del Sunderland. The local paper had given me a big write-up as a genial Geordie and there were several placards proclaiming ‘SID IS A MACKEM’. The phrase refers to the East and West Durham speech fault that says ‘mak’ for ‘make’ and ‘tak’ for ‘take’ – and is also tied up with the once proud tradition of building fine ships on the River Wear.
