'Going yem' is going home up here.
I'd love to know who came up with that one, the daft Geordie loon.

Isn't that just a pronounciation thing though?
Wales is fairly similar. I have a friend you says 'by yere' for 'here'.

Geordie pronunciation
Is closer to original English than current accepted standards. It's the Scandinavian influence.

I like how one of the most northerly town in Britain is called 'Sutherland'

And someone told me that there's no archaelogical evidence that Vikings wore horns on their heads...
...and someone else told me that modern Russians are descended from North Scandinavian Vikings.

He said it was closer to original English
which is not a Scandinavian language, so I don't quite understand why a bunch of Danes would keep the original pronunciation.
