Yeah, that sounds about right on both counts. I'm not actually a Geordie but its all the same to foreigners. I also have quite a weak accent and so people don't tend to have a hard time understanding me or at least I don't think so. However once I get pissed that can change.
People kept asking me to read the Geordie quotes they put on the back of bottles of Brown Ale when i was in Australia and then laughing at me. Irish people for some reason seem to like us to say certain things or explain certain terms or phrases. Alot of them are cheeky bastards though and just think its funny to ask me to say 'Byker Grove' every half an hour for their entertainment.
