Wherever you travel in the world you can bet your bottom dollar you’ll bump into a fellow Geordie, Mackem, or Sand-dancer. My latest such encounter was on the other side of the globe with a 20-year-old lad from a rather famous Newcastle family. But he had perished more than a century before in the most …
