7. Mackem - Teddy Bear
We know just how proud the people of Sunderland are to be known as Mackems these days, but do you know why the city’s population has this nickname? There are lots of different theories, but perhaps the most convincing goes back to Sunderland’s history of shipbuilding. The city was once the home of shipyards that once produced around 25% of all the world’s ships – produced so quickly and efficiently that locals would simply be able to ‘make them’, so sailors could ‘take them’, or in the local accent – ‘Mak’em and Tak’em’!
