The Metro between Newcastle Central and - roughly - East Boldon

[Kevsgreat]

I go to a client in Pelaw and use Metro. There are new flats near the metro that seem fine, modern Aldi and Lidl next to each other some decent older houses and a metro into Newcastle every few minutes.

I would consider moving there if I was coming to the area. At the Monument 30 minutes door to door.

Not sure what people expect from areas in the north east.

I know a lad who lives there, didn't know that until I saw him on the Metro heading back from Newcastle and he got off there. My opinion of the place was based solely on the dossers hanging about the station and he's really not that kind of bloke, so I asked him what Pelaw is like the next time I saw him. He said "it's cheap".

Luckily, I look down on people who look down on people.

Harry, man, you’d have a hissy fit if you heard them swearing in front of a lady. Stop being so inconsistent

I read that in Borats voice for some reason

I'm not keen on boorish behaviour and I have at times asked people to pipe down but these are the exceptions in life.

I'm not being inconsistent. I don't recognise your portrayal of the said metro line. I have said that sometimes there are dafties on the train.

That would be the reason I lived there. Cost and access to Newcastle and Sunderland. I doubt I would drink in the local.

How come?

 

[Harry Angstrom]

How come?

I've been in it.

 

[Charmless Man]

I've been in it.

And?

 

[Harry Angstrom]

And?

I probably wouldn't go in it very often

 

[ravydavygravy]

Can’t say I’m overly familiar with the places along the line there other than passing through on the train, but are they all proper dumps? It seems like without fail, some absolute mouth breathers, high as kites and covered in facial bruises get on at those stops, always leaving before they get to Sunderland or Newcastle.

It genuinely feels like being in a zombie film

Aye there's nee charvas in Newcastle or Sunderland. They all live in-between.

 

[Charmless Man]

Why is that?

I’m not saying that. I think people are misunderstanding.

And also ignoring the fact that I never use the Byker section and the South Hylton section of the line.

 

[Harry Angstrom]

Why is that?

It's not my cup of tea and I don't know anyone in Pelaw so would just get on Metro and meet friends in town. It's very convenient for that.

Why is it not your cup of tea? And could you not make friends in your hypothetical new local?

 

[Harry Angstrom]

It's a bit of a dump and I have more than enough friends.

I don't drink much now unless going on a jolly with my chums.

Best clone yourself and build a pedestal to look down on yourself from then.

It's not my cup of tea. There are many places that I choose not to go.

I’m glad you’ve lifted the veil. You’d have everyone believe something very different.

 

[Fletch]

nowt more awkward than when on the metro and a complete wrongun gets on

 

[Harry Angstrom]

Nope. I don't think I would. I don't look down on these places, they just aren't for me. i don't travel on public transport and see everyone as a smackhead.

When not with wife or child I find it amusing.

Nor do I. Just those who clearly are smackheads.
