Our readers have had their say on the clearest signs you’re a Darlington native – do you agree?

The Northern Echo asked its readers on Thursday (February 1) what are some signs you are from the area.

They were met with a mix of responses, with some residents pointing to the best places in town to grab a bite, while others pointed to its nightlife history.

One reader said: “Knowing Taylor’s make the best pork pies.”

Another reader said: “Because we call it ‘Darlo’ and remember the Mardi Gras nightclub.”

Meanwhile, another reader agreed and reminisced about “carpet burger outside Mardi Gras at 2am.”

Another reader jokingly said: ”You think potholes on roads are normal,” while another resident spoke of the difficulty to get a taxt out of the area.
