Edinburgh has decided to cancel its New Year party because of a yellow weather warning. Geordies plan to party on but without fireworks. It’s going to be legendary.
It would take more than a yellow weather warning for heavy rain and high winds to deter young Geordies from a night out partying. Famous for being impervious to cold the average Newcastle club goer will happily go out in sub zero temperatures in a tee-shirt or skimpy top.
As these photos from 2019 show, it takes more than a little snow or bad weather to make a young Geordie even think about putting on jumper, never mind a coat. It has been estimated that only twenty Geordies under 30 own a jumper. There has been no records of any owning coats.

They are a bit embarrassed that the city council has decided to cancel the fireworks. “They’re makin’ oos look like nesh southern softies”, one commented. Although some accept that the high winds might make the fireworks go a bit wild.
They are laughing at the folk in Edinburgh. Being further north they assumed that they would be tougher. “Them turnin’ inna noorthen softies. We’ll sen’ ’em some jumpers an nice sof’ gloves”.
