[PRESS GANG]

Don't you just love it when people get famous but don't forsake there roots the Variety club gave them a special dinner for all of there work in the charity sector and for raising the profile of the northeast.

with the likes of Mark Knopfler in attendance its great to see that you don't have to be in london to achieve everything you wish to

Ah come on
these two epitomise the northern stereo type and we've either gotta live it to the full or get shoot of it.

Pet lamb Tim is a god does a boat load for others works his heart at his job and me thinks your issue is more with his success without having sold out. and remaining close to his heart

Denise and her husband have had tremendous success and we should be proud of the fact that they both hail from our region. Not only that, but they are both proud to be geordies and have donated so much of there time to help guys less fortunate than themselves.

We could all learn from them.
