GEORDIES are the most tight-fisted on first dates — spending just ￡15 a head on dinner and drinks.

       A survey found lads from Newcastle only fork out around ￡30 to woo a lady.

       But the average three-course restaurant meal with a drink costs ￡24 a head, meaning first date night would set you back ￡48.

       That’s ￡18 — or 60 per cent — more than Geordies usually spend.

       Mature student Craig Hornchurch, 41, once took a first date for a ￡5 doner kebab takeaway.

       He said: “She was not impressed.

       “The van is known to serve the best kebabs in Newcastle, but she expected a dinner with wine and dessert. I never saw her again.”

       Brummies were the next tightest, shelling out ￡33 for two meals.
