@Kevinosjcp1 @EssexPR Ahh yes let's install a criminal oligarch, his actively Nazi sidekick and a racist, misogynist party who want to bring back the good old days of exploitation. That didn't end well in 1945. In fact we actively fought against Nazis and now you want to embrace faschism.

@EssexPR I agree 🇺🇸😔 can you imagine how Great the UK 🇬🇧 could be with someone Like Trump in charge 💪🏼Let’s hope we can get rid of the all Labour Clowns 🤡 running this Country & Especially the Mayor destroying our Great Capital London 🇬🇧 #MEGA Make England Great Again 🇬🇧🙏🏻

I’m actually very jealous of America, they have a leader that is passionate about their country, wants American people to succeed and wants his country to be great again. He realises that Americans should be prioritised over foreigners. We have Keir Starmer.

@JHCPAL @Mark_Phillips66 Oh yes i'm sure I'll find £220 (just for the train fare alone, let alone overnight accommodation and spending money) stuffed down the back of my sofa and 2-3 days of free time to nip back to Newcastle /s

@mavmaramis @Mark_Phillips66 Time for another visit! 😀

Question - are Tynemouth /Whitley Bay/ the riviera tourist destinations in their own right ( not day trips by locals, I'm thinking out of area stays of a few days?) I know they were way back. If ⬇️ was in Cornwall or Devon it would be inundated.....

@JHCPAL @Mark_Phillips66 Last time I was in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne/Sunderland area was 1990.

@mavmaramis @Mark_Phillips66 That'll do. The Weymouth Riviera. 😉 Locals affectionately call the coast from North Shields to Seaton Sluice "the Geordie Riviera". It is very scenic,chock full of history, and with excellent public transport links should you ever be in the area.

@Mark_Phillips66 @JHCPAL Well this was Weymouth 20.08.2024. Big expanse of sand, warm weather and packed. But does it count as 'riveria' ?

@JHCPAL We love staying there for a weekend
