Get the Ashington mug.
A quiet little mining town in the heart of the north east.
It has a reputation for being rough but is infact a friendly place but locals can seem intimidating to people who arent used to their aquaintences.
People from ashington have their own easily recognisable accent known as "pitmatic" and apart from pure geordie is the broadest accepnt in the north east.
A friday night out in ashington is by far the best night out you will have and the lads from there are known for being the best in england for "pleasuring" the ladies!

Famous exports include... jackie&bobby charlton... jackie milburn... martin taylor... steve harmison... peter ramage and sir john hall
"Fancy a night out in Ashington?" "wey aye that would be belter"

Get the Ashington mug.
A dumping ground for all that is bad; a cesspit; a shithole.
I went to Ashington the other day; I left with enteric fever.
