Meeting people from Teesside on holiday

I just met @1finny on an inter rail world tour, we spent our evenings eating caviar, sipping dom Perginon and burning £50 notes in front of the local peasants. You should have seen their faces!

In all seriousness I met a couple from boro out in Mombasa in June 2014, at the start of the 14/15 season i remember meeting them again in the Isaac’s Wilson’s bar!
 
Had been in Caleta de Fuste, Fuerteventura no more than an hour last Monday and saw a chap and his wife, him wearing this seasons away shirt (blue/yellow) walking towards the wife and I.
 
Out in the **** end of now where in China, I found a little bar and was planning on asking the owner/manager if he wouldn’t mind streaming the Boro game as I walk in it’s already on. I spot a Scottish lad going mad at the TV. Turned out he had no ties with the area what so ever, but hated his brother supported Newcastle in the 90s so chose Boro said he’d been a life long fan ever since… owner said he was in every week asking for the Boro match.

That’s blown me wide open, I’ve got nowhere to hide now - - The Caviar?

And I’m supposed to be vegan

Its not a holiday story, but it was my first day in Saudi. I arrived at the compound where I was staying. Unusually, an English woman greeted me. She was the wife of an engineer and had volunteered to welcome Brits into the compound.
I asked how I could phone home (it was 1984) and she said " Dial 44 642 then your number" I asked how she knew the STD code she said "I can tell a Boro lad anywhere"
It turned out she used to live in the next street to me.

Very similar to me also .Got on the rig offshore in Persian Gulf of Qatar, and sat down in galley with a British lad turns out he lived round my corner and his sister was my mates wife.
Never seen him at all in the area and we moved from boro to Eston in 1970.
Unreal.
 
Teessiders are becoming the new "Scots" - in the past ships engineers and captains were often Scottish (think Star Trek first generation).
