Developers have announced plans to build Europe’s tallest observation wheel on Newcastle Quayside in a project that would see more than £100m invested in the city and create up to 550 jobs.

Standing 140 metres high, the observation wheel – dubbed ‘The Whey Aye’ in celebration of its location – will be five metres taller than the London Eye.

The wheel will also have a world-record breaking 10,000 sq m LED digital screen as its centre piece, which will be used to communicate information about local culture and events as well as social media content ..

Now that the winter snow had arrived with a vengeance we would like to remind all you Geordie Lads “n” Lasses of the need to protect yourselves from the extreme weather conditions despite ye warm blooded geordie genes.

In the following youtube video Chris Connely also makes an appeal for members of the public to donate to the Coats For Geordies appeal. 😛

Thank you for listening 😀

Please note: this is a nicely done and humorous Geordie parody and “of course” no such appeal exists 😛 – however, coats and jackets can be donated to the numerous charity shops on nearly every High Street throughout Geordieland (and of course in nearby Darlington).
