Serious inaccuracies.[edit]
There's no evidence that Iraq and Syria occupied the city at any point in history. I've no idea where this came from.
And the name "Geordie" as a title for locals is not from miners being called George or Geordie. There's many different interpretations however the most commonly cited is that the miners of the era used a lamp invented by George Stephenson, nick named the Geordie Lamp as opposed to the Davy lamp invented by Humphry Davy. 194.247.49.2 09:10, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- I suggest you read beyond the first line of 'Understand' to understand where people from modern-day Iraq and Syria fitted into the Roman occupation of Britain.
- Aside from that, this is the travel guide that you can edit, so please change the info on "Geordie" in the article rather than having a moan here. Thank you, ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 11:12, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
