His choice though, he can either be a Mackem or a Plastic Geordie.
This clamoring to be a Geodie is nothing new though, even the cast of Geordie Shore weren't all Geordies. There was a girl from Sunderland, who didn't really mention that, and there was a girl from Middlesbrough who tried to claim she was a Geordie and not a Smoggy, despite the fact you have to drive through, or at least past, Sunderland to get to Newcastle from Boro.
