The Best Salesmen Are Geordies

The Tynesider — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 12:10:34 +0000

Geordie moved to London and went to Harrods looking for a sales job.

Mohamed Al Fayed was doing the interviews and asked Geordie whether he had any sales experience?”

Well I was a canny salesman back in Newcastle, but the firm closed down so I thought I’d try me luck in London”. After a few more questions Mr Al Fayed decided he liked Geordie and gave him the job.

On Geordies first day on the job he managed to only sell to one customer and after the store was locked up, Al Fayed came down and asked “OK, Geordie how many sales did you make today?”

Geordie said ” I just selt to the one person Man”. Al Fayed groaned and exclaimed, “Just one, our sales people average of 20 sales a day, I thought you said you were good? How much was the total sale?

” Wey aboot 120 thousand pound” replied Geordie … Al Fayed nearly choked and exclaimed “£120,000 !! what the hell did you sell him?”

“Well said Geordie, forstly I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium fish hook and then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was gannin to go’ fishing and he said well probably doon at the coast, so I took a chance and told him he would be best off fishing on a boat and took him doon to the boat department where I sold him a twin-engine Power Cat. He said he didn’t think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him doon to the car sales room and persuaded him to trade it in for a 4 x 4 Suzuki”.

An even more incredulous Al Fayed said “You mean to tell me…. a customer came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a fish hook, a fishing rod, a boat and a 4×4?

“Why nah man Mr Al Fayed……he actually came in here to buy a box of tampons for his girlfriend, so I said … Well, since your weekend’s up the spout, you might as well gan fishin like”

The Risks Of To Much Newcastle Brown Ale

Witness 69 — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 20:55:09 +0000

Researchers at Newcastle University have released the results of recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in Newcastle Brown Ale.

Geordie Men should take a concerned look at their brown ale consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain phytoeostrogens) and that Geordies who drink to much Brown ale eventually turn into women.

To test the theory, 100 men were given 8 bottles of brown each within a 2 hour period.

It was then observed that an amazing 99% of the Geordie test subjects:

1.) Gained weight
2.) Talked excessively without making sense
3.) Became overly emotional
4.) Couldn’t drive
5.) Failed to think rationally
6.) Argued over nothing
7.) Had to sit down while urinating
8.) Refused to apologize even when obviously wrong

Kind of proves the theory really

Smudge — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 13:59:59 +0000

You know your a Geordie if

The metro is a train & somewhere where you can buy stuff
You used to or still do pray to the Gods Shearer, Keegan or Robson
You often end some of your sentences with “man” or “like”
You’re not taking the mickey when you say “Why Aye Man”
If your a lass Cheryl Cole is your idol and if your a lad you think ”she’s alreet her like“
If your under 30 Alan Shearer was your idol when you were growing up
You often buy a Greggs pastie for your breakfast or dinner
You don’t wear a coat to go out clubbing in the toon (Newcastle) even if it’s snowing or raining
You know the word “Canny” has more than one meaning
You love Chip Stotties
If your a girl you sometimes drink pints through a straw
Ganning clubbing in South Shields makes a refreshing change
You visit the Tynemouth Sea Life Centre at least once a year
Your mam or dad used to party on the Tuxedo Princess
You order gravy with your chips and nobody thinks it’s weird
Banter means you can totally slag someone off but no-ones allowed to get upset
It’s normal for you to say “Ye Alreet” to everyone (even strangers)
Unlike the rest of the UK you know the difference between Mackems and Geordies

Ye Nah What A Mean Like !!

Brief description: Being true Geordies we need to make it clear from the off that we respect everyone’s right to their choice of religion, politics or personal life choices.

We also don’t make hasty decisions about someone’s character just because they don’t support Newcastle United.

However, we are more than a little biased in that respect and we just happen to think it’s plain daft if you don’t support the greatest team in the World :)

That said, whichever team you do or don’t support, as long as your still proud to be called a Geordie (wherever you currently live in the world) your welcome to register for your own Geordie Space.
