The Armadillo & Baltic Mill are in Gateshead.
Gateshead is south of the river tyne, Newcastle is across the bridge to the north
Also, the expression "getting off at Gateshead" refers to pulling out just before you come.
The convo could be;
Woman; "don't come in me, I'm not on the pill"
Man; "don't worry I'll get off at Gateshead". Probably lying thro his teeth btw.
Dates back to the railway line from Sunderland to Newcastle (now superceded by the Metro), Gateshead is the last stop before Newcastle and most people would not want to get off there !!

Thanks everyone, job done :mrgreen:
And don't call Gateheadians Geordies I guess. (Same applies to Sunderlanders too).
Newcastle - Gateshead - Sunderland????????
Whats the difference? the real difference is that none of them are Durham City.
Cos Durham City is the real hidden gem of the North-East - but keep it quiet eh - we really don't wanna be over-run by the soft buggas from the south
Or even the lads n lasses from Newcastle, Gateshead & Sunderland
