For a bit of fun.... what would happen if Teesside declared itself an independent country?

If we're doing tv shows specific to the PRT, we could have a version of can't cook won't cook which is basically a review of takeaways and local eateries

match of the day would feature the best of the days action from sports centres (as the PL) down to 20-a-side kickabouts from various parks in the area (non-league)

We could have our own army and uniform, maybe a flag too. White cross on a white background anyone. We could have our own SAS, our motto could be "Who cares who wins".
We could be completely nuetral in wars and allow rich folks to bank with our national bank "Teeside Untrust and Investments"

According to my old mate Frank Zappa, you can't be a proper country unless you have a beer and an airline, some work needed, but not impossible.

Billingham has a brewery.............puts tin hat on in readiness

I am wondering if we can reclaim all our bridges and start charging a toll to cross them. Nice little earner right there.
