I always think of Roger Whitaker when Durham is mentioned

I always think of "DURHAM ISN'T A TOWN AND IT ISN'T ON THE BANKS OF THE RIVER TYNE YOU ******* HALFWIT" when Roger Whitaker is mentioned

I'm sure it was a town in 1969, classic song, up there with fog on the tyne with Gazza


Sums up the culture of the North East

Nah I dont really know Durham - I fear it. It's wierd!

Its not a bad place to work. Nice and quiet really. Did a contract on the edge of Sunderland a coupe of years ago at Pennywell...now there is a place to be feared

You're probably right - I'm sure they just knocked the cathedral and the university up in the last few years.

I'd love a job in Sunderland like, but unless they start wanting pasty making contractors it's looking unlikely.

Town as in London Town, no? And the mention of the Tyne was a forgotten reference from the first draft, i.e. Acceptance Testing rushed.

There are a few towns with Cathedrals in the UK, however I bow to your local knowledge on the inacuracies of Roger's musical faux pas in his lyrical poetry. I'm sure Sinatra has called cities towns too, the patronising barsteward!
