A mackem is a person who lives in Sunderland, Tyne & Wear. Normally I would refer to myself as a Wearsider.

Hi all. am in Sidcup, which is either Kent or London, its on the borderline!
My immediate family is all from South east London, but going back a couple of generations, they came from all round the country, so people were very mobile, looking for work, and not as some one said all staying close to home.
Sorry! family history nut..... grin

I have moved to Poole in Dorset from Bermondsey, South London.
Now looking at ways to make new friends and trying to find a job that allows me to visit my family in London a couple of days a month at least!!

Hi glassortwo, apparently it was manic around the stadium of light because my sister was there. I live at the other end of town, where A19 meets A690 so it was not an issue.
