Wot Cheor Geordie! Stories For Geordies

Set in the early 1950's, follow the hilarious exploits and misfortunes of our hero, Geordie Thompson. His world revolves around Newcastle and anywhere else is a foreign country. However, events take him into this alien world and he finds that the values he cherishes do not apply there. He falls foul of a magistrate in Hexham, has a disastrous foray on the Border Counties railway which in that era ran up the North Tyne valley. He comes to grief on a boat ride down the Tyne from Ryton to Whitley Bay. Of course, he also gets into scrapes in 'the toon' itself. 'Take a generous helping of Bobby Thompson, stir in a little of Andy Capp and season with lashings of Auf Wiedersehen Pet and you have the new book by Gordon Simpson . It is good knock about stuff and should raise a chuckle with many north easterners.' - The Hexham Courant.
