The fact that during the time of the Prince Bishops, sunderland was little more than a few pig sheds isn’t important here, Durham belongs to sunlin’. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also hope MLFs don't see this and boycott their business or leave shitty reviews like they did by wrongly targeting a sign business for the derby carry on? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great idea for a novelty gift tbf, and I want some. Is the author suggesting that the manufacturer shouldn't use this idea because they are based in Seaham and not Newcastle? 🤣 Sad, sad mackem bastards.

Alex 36742 Posted January 19, 2024 Share Posted January 19, 2024 My favourite one is still the English civil war thing. I.e. a minor skirmish which involved hardly any, if any at all, locals. At a time when Sunderland didn’t even exist in any meaningful sense. Which was actually related to the Bishops War, which was a part of the civil war where the Scots wanted religious freedom. So they allied with the parliamentarians in a ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend arrangement. You’ll be lucky to find it mentioned in any academic texts. They’ve created a Wikipedia page which references a a website that mentions it in passing. Off the back of that they’ve created a mythical story about its significance and how it’s the root of the rivalry between us and them. It makes the Athletic Bilbao stuff look credible. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well am not satisfied marra. listen to the blurb they put on the website: Quote The phrase "carrying coals to Newcastle" is an idiom that means to do something pointless or redundant. It is often used to describe a situation in which someone is trying to do something that is already being done or that is not needed. The phrase comes from the fact that Newcastle upon Tyne, England, was a major coal-producing city in the 18th and 19th centuries. Coal was so abundant in Newcastle that it was often used as a form of currency. As a result, there was no need to bring coal to Newcastle, as it was already readily available. The phrase "carrying coals to Newcastle" is still used today, often in a humorous or sarcastic way. It can be used to describe a situation in which someone is trying to do something that is obviously unnecessary or to express frustration with a situation that is already hopeless. Well marra, there was never any coal mines in the city of Poocastle itself (well, maybe a couple yonks ago). Newcastle's coal came from the SE Nothumberland pits or was stolen from the Land of Prince Bishops. Whereas, there was a working pit in Sunderland right until 1993! It's well known that the phrase was "like selling coal to Sunderland" until the black and white gravy stained scum maggots stole it off wur. FTM! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The population of Sunderland during the English civil war was <1500. By contrast, the population of Newcastle during medieval times was about the 4th largest in the UK for most that time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
