A   Mackem  walks into a bank in  Sunderland  

and asks for the loan officer.
He tells the loan officer that he is going to Australia on business
For one or maybe two weeks and needs to borrow £5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank
Will need some form of security for the loan,
So the canny  lad hands over the keys
and documents of his new Ferrari parked
on the street in front of the bank.
He produces the Log Book and everything checks out.
The loan officer agrees to accept
the car as collateral for the loan.

The bank's Manager and its officers
All enjoy a good laugh at the rough looking   lad  
For using a £150,000 Ferrari
As collateral against a £5000 loan.
An employee of the bank then
drives the Ferrari into the bank's
underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the  lad  returns,
repays the £5,000 and the interest,
which comes to £15.41.
The loan officer says,
"Sir, we are very happy to have had your business,
And this transaction has worked out very nicely,
but we are a little puzzled, while you were away
we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire.
What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow £5,000 ?


 

"Where else in  Sunderland  can I park my car
For two weeks for only £15.41
And expect it to be there when I return,

Some explanation needed
A Make is someone from Sunderland
A Takem is someone from Newcastle.

Ships, Sunderland made them and Newcastle took them and put them to use, in it's most simplistic term.
Generally Makems are a bit ..... well make up your own mind, my swmbo is one of them

Spent 3 years there as a student - very fond memories.  Bloody chilly though!

Mackems were very friendly to the student population   - would regularly deliver free furniture to your lounge via the window.....  Always made me laugh the verbal abuse we got for 'sponging from the state' when the vast majority were on the rock 'n roll themselves!

Having said that there's some great people up there and I was attracted to the fact that the students union had the cheapest pint in the country......

Despite living in Lincs i'm a southerner so don't take liberties son! My profession makes our isle my garden & i've found all folk from Co Durham (where i bought  the Cortina from) to the borders to be friendly & a good laugh.
     When i lived down south one of my best drinking buds was a geordie, ex services, hard as fook (i would'nt mess with him) but every night out was a scream.

   Best of all the whole of the North East is my favourite regional accent pet & that!!!!!

Quite correct before University and city status students (and spongers like me ) went to the Poly Bar. Well for 60p a pint .....whats a guy to do?
