| Looking Down On Sunderland
ONE OF OUR readers recently purchased a penthouse apartment in Sunderland as an investment property. It's listed as one of the premier properties in the area and out of the financial reach of most Mackems.
The transfer came through earlier this week and we've held off telling any of you until it was finalised.
It is now available to be rented for weekends (or weeks). She will handle the initial bookings herself, while searching for an appropriate Estate Agent to manage the property.
Weekends will cost approximately £100 (friends and family rate) for two nights, and £250 for the week.
Book early as the penthouse, with it's amazing views of the local area, is expected to be very popular. Interested parties can contact Newcastle Stuff. |

Mackem Barbie
TRADING STANDARDS officers are warning shoppers to beware of snide goods in Sunderland, after a batch of dolls were seized which have been found to infringe copyright laws.
In a departure from the usual range of fake clothes, tabs and booze, unscrupulous market traders are knocking-out counterfeit Barbie dolls, aimed specifically at the people of Sunderland.
The ‘Mackem Barbie’ comes with a range of accessories not available from the official manufacturer. These include maternity-wear, a double-buggy and nash book.
Although these dolls may seem to be the ideal Christmas present, shoppers are warned that, like most things from Sunderland, they’re worse than useless. |

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

A RARE London win for Newcastle United was celebrated in style this month, when a Toon top and scarf were placed on the Northern Goldsmith clock, on Westgate Road, immediately after Spurs were beaten 1-0.
Maybe not quite as ambitious as the huge number-nine shirt draped on the Gateshead Angel a couple of years ago, this is nevertheless a magnificent effort, and worth recording in Newcastle Stuff before it's removed.

 RESIDENTS OF Longbenton have had their devotion to junk food recognised by Findus, who recently put this sign up near the entrance of the estate.
It’s not clear what form the sponsorship takes, but it’s hoped their example will be followed by other companies.
It’s about time the likes of Lambert & Butler, White Lightning, Kappa, Netto and other prestige brands and labels also put something back into the communities which support them.
Nice one, Findus. |
