Also I had to try and get on an X21 to Bishop Auckland without my friends who were waiting for the Diamond spotting me.

Even in Darlington or Durham I was worried someone would be there!!
(20 Aug 2014, 12:05 pm)Tom wrote Taking photos of a bus station though? What will they say to that?
I'm not embarrased - it's just that they'll constantly piss me off about it.

(20 Aug 2014, 12:19 pm)Tom wrote No they haven't thankfully! They might of, but they might not have.
To be honest, I don't think they would have as it's one of the people who like to irritate me.
(20 Aug 2014, 12:23 pm)BJ10VUS wrote To be honest, if they're as irritating as they sound, they would have probably said something by now if they were going to make a thing of it. Don't worry about it! I'd get it if you were going running round the bus station acting like an idiot, but if you weren't doing anything to stand out then maybe they didn't see you?

I just get this feeling when i hear people refer to the Metrocentre by its proper name 'intu Metrocentre'. Nobody seems to refer to Eldon Square as 'intu Eldon Square' so i dont know why the Metrocentre should be any different. To me it will always be called the Metrocentre regardless of who owns it and what they do to its name. Bit like St James' Park when it was renamed to the Sports Direct Arena. I still referred to it as St James' Park and so did a lot of people i know.
