Sociology notes

Question:

If you’re on a train at around 8.30 on a Saturday evening, how do you know that the next station is Newcastle?

Answer:

Because, not only are all the girls furiously applying their make-up, but they also have their portable hair styling devices plugged into the on-board power sockets that GNER provides for laptop users.

Chris would have enjoyed that.

I saw them a couple of weeks ago but don't remember them being available (in economy) last summer.

No, they have them in steerage nowadays! 
 
When did that begin? I haven't travelled steerage on GNER for about six years.

David, come down to Ayr station some time and watch the "clubbers' special" arrive on a Friday evening. 
 
It's quite a sight.

(And the Newcassel lassies were probably saving their money for the pubs and clubs.)
