.....and I just had to explain to her about Makems and Takems. Sheesh......

.....and I just had to explain to her about Makems and Takems. Sheesh......

If you had to explain it I bet she is a Mackem, a lot of in-breading in that land; SWMBO is also from there, whilst I am a Tackem..............

That's Tyne and Wear shipbuilding folk for you!

I always get Mackems and Tackems the wrong way round....  ....which leads to some "interesting" discussions when mislabelling some of my Geordie colleagues on conf calls

I think that Sunderland AFC were always called the Mackem,s before someone decided that they should now be called the Black Cats. Must say that i have never heard of Tackems before.

Makems (make 'ems) are from Sunderland, takems (take 'ems) are from Newcastle. You makem, we'll takem.

[Sir Tigger KC]

So are the Makem lassies better looking than the girls from Newcastle?    and the Newcastle lads get over the Tyne to takem Makem lasses?
