00:00Well, Annick, because I'm born and bred there and Annick Castle because it's fantastic and

00:07the people obviously and there's just so many nice little villages around, so many nice

00:11rivers, the, you know, walks. It's just generally nice, it's safe.

00:17Probably Byker.

00:19Byker.

00:20Definitely not Byker.

00:21Not Byker. Not Byker.

00:22I think Newcastle's the best place. I've lived up and down the country. I've lived in London,

00:27Oxford, the Midlands, Manchester. Halifax is my hometown. I've spent time with family

00:36in Scotland as well. Scotland is out of this world. But Newcastle, I would say by far,

00:42it's a hidden gem that not many people know about. And when my friends come up from London,

00:46they love it to bits. And if you know Londoners and you know Cockneys, they've got London

00:52in the blood. For them, Watford is up north. So Newcastle, for them, is a breath of fresh

00:56air. They just love it and they love the people and that's what makes the difference.
