THE HIGH LEVEL BRIDGE
THE SWING BRIDGE

Yesterday we gave yoo the quiz answer to wor question, which waz:
"How many teams have won a major domestic trophy since NUFC last won one!?"

We gave a list of 34 teams who had done so and said that Sporz had last won a trophy in 1991, which waz the FA Cup!
This waz a cunning missteak on wor part az Sporz last won a trophy just 5 years  "Er!"--6 years! ago in 2008, which waz the Leegue Cup!
AALSO!--- we missed 'Ne Where Near' Bolton Wanders FA Cup win in 1958---so the total iz in fact 35! and NOT 34!--- the correction(s) are listed below!

We were inundated with millions of texts, e mail and fone caalls, correctin' us (whey!--- TWO actually from 'Liam from the Lamp'!) and he wins the forst prize which iz an aall EXPENSIVE paid trip to New Zealand to watch The Toon pre season (Aall £3,000 expenses paid by HIM! <(apart from a very generous 5 pence donation to help with the costs from 'The Geordie Times'!)

He aalso wins a 'Geordie Times' tee shirt, to wear in New Zealand (XXL--small 'marquee tent' size!) complete with wor 7 Tyne Bridge logos on the front (see above pic) and www.geordietimes.com  on the back! 
We have since corrected wor dilibrittt misttaik! (see below!)
