(20 Aug 2014, 4:24 pm)Dan wrote On my Flickr captions, I usually note it as 'intu Metrocentre' - but that boils down to the argument I always used to have with myself in regards to capitalising the 'T' in 'The'. Grammatically, I don't think it's correct to do so - but I didn't think a lower-case 't' looked very good.
In real life, it varies from 'Metty', 'Metro' and 'The Metrocentre'. Depends who I'm talking to and what they call it.
Never heard 'Metty' everyone I know goes by 'The Metrocentre' 'Metrocentre' or 'Metro' but I will never refer to it as 'intu Metrocentre'
It's like when Teesside Airport became Durham Tees Valley Airport, everyone I know still calls it Teesside Airport.
