New Royal Navy TV advert

[Sammysmiths]

Submariner lad in a Boro top states “ I was born in Teesside”.
My missus (who’s an English teacher) says it should be “I was born on Teesside”.
Who is correct?

 

[Norfolkred1]

So with that analogy I was born ON England.

 

[TeaCider]

I've always said on.
You're born on the side of the Tees, not in the side.

 

[Ingleby_Flash]

Yup, you’re born on Teesside, born in the Boro. Or wherever else, born on wearside, born in Sunderland, born a tŵ@t.

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

He's a dirty smelly sun dodger

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

He's not saying he was born on the banks of the Tees though. Teesside is being used as a place name, like Manchester or Norwich.

You wouldn't say I was born on Manchester so for my money born in Teesside is correct.

 

[coluka]

We urgently need more information to be accurate on this, which side of the Tees?

 

[Sammysmiths]

He was wearing a boro top so must be south of the Tees. Everyone knows north are all Mackems.

 

[Norfolkred1]

Bleedin Inglish teechers, wot do thay no.

(that was hard to type)

 

[Sammysmiths]

Try living with one!! A wiman is never wrang and never ever ever wrong when you introduce English as the specialismms

 

[Rofesleg]

New advert? It's been out for f'ng yonks.
It's definitely IN TEESSIDE for my money BTW

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

But should he have said born in Yorkshire?

 

[FullTiltTraore]

It's defo born on Teesside, like.

 

[Billyzin]

He was wearing a boro top so must be south of the Tees. Everyone knows north are all Mackems.

"He was wearing a boro top so must be south of the Tees."​

Except for those South of the Tees wearing Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United or Leeds tops that is.

 

[Cooper671]

Its always based up north, carlise and berwick were the last 2 I think

 

[Foggysfplandiet3]

On.

Full stop.

The end.

 

[Redwurzel]

Royal Navy have used young people from a quoted Carlisle, Blyth, Scarborough, Teesside in recent years. All left behind areas in the North of England (strong BREXIT voting towns). Most adverts nowadays use a a variety of ethnic backgrounds, but not the RN adverts.

 

[bear66]

Got to be "on" for Teesside, Tyneside, Wearside, Merseyside, Humberside.

"Levelling up"

That advert is not new and I’m pretty sure it’s regional and only shown in certain areas.
