I met a lovely guy back in '74 from Sunderland when he came to Luton to work, he met my dad who happened to be from Newcastle and they hit it off straight away, infact my dad idolised him, we fell in love but I was only 16 and he was 21 and my parents said I was too young to get involved with him seriously, so when his work in Luton was finished (roughly 3mths later) he said he would come back for me when I was 18, we never stayed in touch so I didn't think he would come back for me, but when I was nearly 19 my dad came back from the Luton Labour club and told me Norman had turned up asking after me, my dad broke the news that I was now married and his face dropped, I was gutted and tried to find him but with no luck. I'm many years divorced now and I often wonder what happened to him. 'The love I lost.!! I've always regretted not waiting for him 😢

Nothing is known of his family, but he was born in about 673 near to the monastery of Wearmouth, and aged 7 was given to the monastery to be educated, as children often were at the time. His first teacher was Benedict Biscop, and then later he moved to the newly-founded monastery at Jarrow with Abbot Ceolfrith, where he would remain as a monk.

I recall it mostly through football, being a fan of the red & whites, however I had heard the shipyards reference as my Dad worked for Doxfords in the late 70's and that would have been my answer. I also really enjoyed the explanation of Marra, which makes a lot of sense, though I have never used the word. I always thought it more of Durham word.

I arrived in Sunderland around 1956 and was unaware of the expression mackem and takem (which then got abbreviated to makem) until about the 80's. I realize it was a reference to a slight speech difference between Sunderland and Newcastle but initially all the people in the North East sounded the same - though to this day I have great difficulty with Pitmatic. I believe the local dialect features many Danish words due to the various contacts with invaders and settlers from the 600's. I once was doing a gig in Newcastle and the pub was full of guys in football strips (Magpies) and I said to the crowd, ''Please join in and singalong; we're from Sunderland and need all the help we can get.'' The bass player went white and as we survived pleaded I never do that again. :) I liked the Hollywood star crack you made just after the drunk guy promoted his channel. I find all speech difference fascinating which is just as well, as I currently live in Prague.

If you watch the 1973 (don't be jealous you 1950s dudes) cup final, the telly commentator refers to Sunderland as geordies . I think once upon a time 'geordie' was meant for the wider North east area. Mackem and tackem is where the term came from and a handy way to create separation from Newcastle and strengthen a sunderland identity.

Thanks , thoroughly enjoyed that. Bit of background: Supported Sunderland for about 50 years then saw the light (dismayed with the Premiership and EFL basically) and so have been going to support Gateshead for about 12 years now. I am from Washington originally and definitely NOT from Sunderland. Used to work and drink in both Newcastle and Sunderland and didn't hear the term 'Mackem' as applied to a group of people until the early 70s when, and I think you will like this, it was used among posher people I knew from Sunderland as a derogatory term for folk from the dock areas like Hendon. As for 'Geordie' : back in the 50s and early 60s just about all of us from north of Durham used the term for ourselves reflecting the Radio programme 'What Cheor, Geordie' and songs like 'Wherever ya Gan ya Sure To Find A Geordie.' It was always easier than trying to explain which pit village or town we might have come from. But in contradiction to that I find the miners' lamp stuff interesting. I was brought up to believe that miners North of the Tyne used 'Geordie' lamps and Durham miners used Davy lamps. Loved the bit about 'marras' , great story .

I’ve always been referred to as a sand dancer, but I always knew the story of Mackems being to do with ship building and also how the people of Sunderland say make (mak)… usually more to it than that but there must be some truth in it with so many people also being passed down this story!

Walked all around and saw those Georgian style houses that used to be visible before the stadium grew.

Learned where "marra" comes from now. Up my way in Northumberland we use that word a lot

Grew up in Stanley so had a few Mackem mates, me Dad raised us as Newcastle fans though as he grew up in Gateshead and prides himself as the only true geordie in the family being born across the water in Newcastle. He’d have been livid known I knocked about with a few Mackems and they had to tuck their shirts in and zip up before they came in my house!

My understanding of the term Makem and Takem came from when shipyard workers from the wear built ships on the Tyne and took their wages back to Sunderland Sunderland

Mixed feelings and emotions about this place can’t work it out if I love it or hate it I have good memories of this place growing up but think it’s all over for the place now like a forgotten land the people are lost souls

1 of my friends is from Sunderland and occasionally while texting he will use local Mackem lingo occasionally and im just like "Huh? What are you saying?" It gets confusing occasionally (Find it hilarious tho) As im not from the NE area 😂 But god the accent i LOVE it could listen to someone from there talk for hours

I was on holiday in Cyprus this year, met a footy fan from Sunderland, having banter as I am Ipswich town fan, I asked him this. He said ship building, also. Makem and Tackem, sea trials

I always get told it was because the different allegiances the cities had with different kings. ie. Geordies supported a king George (hence the old George) and mackems supported a king Malcolm (have been plenty scottish kings of the name but wouldn't make sense geographically). If thats true or not I don't know as a Gateshead lad I find it interesting how in 1068 on sherriff hill william the conquerer fought Malcolm III of Scotland that would be an interesting topic for a video. Keep up the good work Eddie, cheers. John L :)

When I was in hopital in Sunderland, I asked the same question. One chap informed me that people (on a Friday night) would congregate outside 'Mackeys' (a shop in the high street)......... hence Mackems.

I was told as a child that the mackem and tackem, from make them and take them, was from the shipyards, because in Newcastle or Northumberland we would say mek ‘em and tek ‘em instead. Down to small difference in the dialect?
