 Poster: A snowHead

As reported here
According to the number of Snowheads in the North East I am afraid the Geordies have a job to defend this one.

Hmmmm... Miriam Stoppard and Anne Reid are The Daily Mail's star Geordie witnesses? That's not really helping our cause is it?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I think as complaint to the ASA should be made. There are rather a lot of us on here who could do so, although several are now ex-pats and live in the South.

We're far to savvy to use the tour operators anyway. We know how to get better value for money.

I think that's hilarious. I'd have thought it was equally funny had it been directed at anyone, even us Jocks.

The company doesnt even fly from Newcastle................maybe that would be a good starting point.

I think the appropriate Geordie reaction to the marketing manager of Directski would be along the lines of "Hadaway an' shite"

If Geordies start going skiing, I'm hanging my boots up.

I and my family go skiing twice a year, have done all my life, and not once have I met a Geordie on the slopes. I ski in Switzerland and Austria, occasionally France, and twice in the US. Not once in all the 50 years that I've been skiing have I met a Geordie, and dare I say it, I've not met man northerners at all. I've never bumped into a Mancunian or Liverpudlian, for example. All my fellow skiers seem to come from the south of England. I don't know if that's coincidence, but it's something we skiers have noticed over the years.
Maybe this will prompt more northerners to sample skiing. It's one of the world's best sports. Skiing through beautiful scenery down a mountain with all that powdery snow and sunshine, it's truly magical. Admittedly, it can cost and arm and leg, just a small hot toddy can cost £10 in certain bars, but it is worth the experience. |

I might live in Newcastle but technically I am not a geordie, even though I have been here for 16 years but of course was brought up on the other side of the Tyne. So my trips to the snow do not count then.
The Easyjet flight from NCL to GVA must be full of people from Yorkshire, Scotland Cumbria etc

I think it's hilarious. And thinking abooot it, I don't think I've come across a Geordie on the slopes either.

bug Me .. another marketeer who knows his customers ... NOT. Geordies and their close ( in proximity) cousins is all I ever seem to meet on the slopes. I was looking for a way of getting them into something different like soccer .... mmmhh... no, that's been tried. Failed.

Many years ago I had Geordies stay in a chalet I was running. It wasn't a pleasant experience for anyone. At least they weren't Maccas...
More recently the Chairman of Wolves stayed at our seriously expensive apartment for two weeks. Nice guy but I needed a translator.

I like the advert. It feeds on the natural arrogance of snowsport enthusiasts as they sit on the tube going to their jobs working in PR or Marketing, while Geordies don't get to see adverts on their way to work down a mine or something because there's so much smog in the air they can't see billboards, and even if they could see it they can't read anyhow.
The only reason people are getting offended is because they were born in Newcastle, but then escaped and were taught to read by civilised society. The Daily Fail has managed to print a pack of lies again - they have had the posters up in Newcastle, but nobody has been able to work out what the man with the dog means.
Fundamentally we also need to accept that there's no point in people from up north going on skiing holidays. It snows 8 months of the year there anyhow, and it's plenty hilly enough. We only go to France for skiing because we couldn't face driving any further up the motorway than Birmingham.

That said I understand the French better than the brummies, and really do not have a clue what the proper northerners are on about.
