Splendid city of the beautiful Britannia!
I flew there in the year seventy-four
a little bit confused about insomnia
in February, hard freezing cold and bore
but the whiskey was plentiful and good
never drunk so exquisite before
unfortunately I had to fast because
then still I didn't know the fish and chips
and eatable didn't find anything more
The Britons,
in fact of food
they took much of the
questionable taste of
ancient
Romans of PONS AELIUS.
I urge them to imitate the italians
( in wine food and fashion )
In
winter is quite different
Newcastle upon Tyne often called more simply Newcastle, is the largest city and metropolitan borough in North East England. It forms the core of the Tyneside conurbation, the eighth most populous urban area in the United Kingdom. The city is situated on the River Tyne's northern bank, approximately 8.5 mi (13.7 km) from the North Sea.
Newcastle developed around a Roman settlement called Pons Aelius and the settlement later took the name of a castle built in 1080 by William the Conqueror's eldest son, Robert Curthose, called Novum Castellum (New Castle).
Historically, Newcastle's economy was dependent on its port. In particular, its status as one of the world's largest ship building and repair centres. Today, the city's economy is diverse with major economic output in science, finance, retail, education, tourism, and nightlife. Newcastle is one of the UK Core Cities, as well as part of the Eurocities network. Famous landmarks in Newcastle include the Tyne Bridge; the Swing Bridge; Newcastle Castle; St Thomas’ Church; Grainger Town including Grey's Monument and the Theatre Royal; the Millennium Bridge; St James' Park; and Chinatown.
