Today was the start of my new job. So befitting a new job in Manchester, work sent me to a corporate meeting in ... Gateshead. Except the rail ticket said Newcastle. Which was a bit confusing.
Either way, it's certainly a very dramatic city. In my short but very confusing taxi journey (complete with Indian taxi driver with a very sing-song accent), I was surrounded by huge towers holding up huge bridges alongside a wide gushing river. If it wasn't for the grey skies and near-permanent drizzle, it would have been a fabulous sight.
What wasn't so fabulous was witnessing a road-rage incident between two very angry drivers from the North East. Shouting various sweary insults in front of a tiny girl who was just watching them in sheer amazement.
So endeth my first day at my new job.
