Indeed, and the primary reason why so many ex Albion players, once retired from the game, continue to live in this area, even if originally from other parts of the country.
It is a very pleasant place to live as well of course!
Maybe not, but l guess one can say much the same thing about many areas of this country. Britiain is hardly known for it's sunny climes after all. Lots of nightlife to be had for said WAGS in Toon though!
Nothing whatsoever wrong with the north east of England in my book, Newcastle itself is a fine city, and Northumberland, wow what an amazing county, sparesly populated, fine scenery and some great beaches.
Combine that with the friendly locals and low property prices, l would have no problem...
