The same could be said for Newcastle-upon-Tyne! I was trying to get a bus from Marlborough Crescent Bus Station to Bensham Bus Depot. I asked a driver behind the wheel of an old Leopard if he was going there. He said something, but it was totally unintelligible! I still have trouble with the Geordie accent to this day, but I have to say that watching repeats of "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" with sub-titles has helped a little!
