Never worked much in north..Newcastle, is it a good place to work..?
I had a Gov client that had a office up there, always enjoyed nights out with the locals. Do the pub rounds down by the Quay, quite a few good eating places as well. Also a great curry house in town that do a killer dish - if you can eat it an keep it down, you eat for free.
If you want to wind up the local folk, ask them if the new castle is anywhere near the old castle in the city centre.
The only minus points I recall was the crappy metro system from the airport.
Not my experience. Amongst the friendliest people I have ever met.
The guys I worked with were fantastic - as was everyone else I got to know. But as a southerner living in Newcastle I had quite a few non-friendly comments thrown at me by people I didn't know. The only place I've ever lived in the world where that was the case. I loved living there none-the-less.
Let us know how you get on with your pilgrimage... its a bus station now
Haymarket?
I was going to take the missus to one of my fav pubs just over the Central Motorway, the Stout Fiddler. Good ale and good food. Bit studenty sometimes. Called something like Moot now! Pah!
The Old George in the city centre is a good pub though and the Lambton at Eighton Banks is very good.
