Mackem and Geordie are walking along the beach at south Shields when Geordie kicks a tin pot in the sand. Picking it up he starts to clean it and with a flash and a roll of thunder out pops a geanie.\"oh thank you master for i have been trapped for ten thousand years , what is your command\" The jealous mackem says, \"hang on a minute, we are together surely we both get a wish\"\"as my Geordie master commands\" says geanie OK says Geordie, give the lad a wish. Right says mackem, i want a high wall around the city of Sunderland to keep all those geordies out. It must be twice as high as the tallest men, and strong, no weaknesses at all\"Your wish is my command says Geanie, \"now Geordie master, what is your wish?\" \"Lets get this clear \"says Geordie, a high wall, right around the city, no weaknesses, no windows, no doors, no gates, solid ?\"
\"That\'s right \" says mackem, \"what about your wish?\"\"Easy\" says Geordie, \"fill it with water\"
