Some people say that it was because of George II, whilst most believe it was after a miners safety lamp called a Geordie Lamp.

i don't really know and I'm from Newcastle. the thing that get me about people from down south is most of them think we are poor, not very clever, and have a thick accent. i don't have an accent (most people think im from down south and posh). Newcastle is one of the best cities in the UK. There is only one thing Newcastle doesn't have as much as and that is knife crime!! ;)
