I'm planning to spend a few days in Newcastle with a friend in June this year. It's a city that is new to me and I would appreciate GNetters ideas, firstly on where you stay so that we are central (as we'll be travelling by train). A reasonably priced hotel, either independent or a group. Then secondly some ideas of what to do and see.

Course we are friendly, we are geordies. Most people will talk to strangers, Im a bit reserved but if a stranger was seeking directions I would help and they reckon that if you go to the bigg market on a Friday night someone will buy you a drink.
they also reckon that down south they are much less friendly than here, however I have not found that, I visited London and the south many times alone as a teenager and everyone was pleasant too. It takes all sorts.

You've all been a tremendous help, thanks to everyone. I've made copious notes and now I'm sure that we'll have a wonderful time. Looking forward to it more than ever
flowers for everyone xx
