I thought that the term applied only to places in Tyne and Wear but then discovered it does include the Northern part of County Durham, which certainly includes Chester-le-Street, which is only about 10 miles from where my son and his family live now. Newcastle and Gateshead are the big magnets in that area.

and now lives in Cincinnati, of all places! :) Seems quite happy
there. If occasionally misunderstood, I'm sure.
