i am from the middle bit.  I like to liken it to 'the intestines'.  Newcastle
would be like 'an armpit',  and London is lovingly thought of as like
the 'bum hole' of the UK :zoinks:

A pikey is someone who travels around in caravans and trashes places up and steals.

A pikey is an irish traveller,  or gypsy.   Often used to just
mean someone of lower class.
