Fear and Loathing in Newcastle

So, I go to Newcastle today because there's a comic mart on, and I get off at the Haymarket metro station in a massive throng of people going to see the match at St James' Park. Up the escalator and through the barriers and there's this woman handing out leaflets for child metro passes. She looks at me, thrusts out a leaflet and says, "Children at home, madam?" To which I reply with a horrified, "No!"

Cue me on the phone to Suzy 30 seconds later plaintively wailing, "Tell me I don't look old enough to have children who need metro passes! Please, tell me!"

What followed was much soothing of Claire's soul by the wonder that is Suzy, for which we are forever in her debt ;)
