‘Metro Centre’ for ‘Metrocentre’.
The station opened in 1987 as ‘Gateshead MetroCentre’ and was renamed ‘MetroCentre’ in 93.
The shopping centre, now ‘Metrocentre’ was previously styled ‘MetroCentre’.
So how did the space on current station name boards come about, ie 2 words?
TGJones - the reincarnated WHSmith on the high street - has gone live with its logo and cover pic on Facebook!
It's interesting that the logotype and "Price Drop" messaging is more distinctive from the WHSmith style than might have been expected 🧐

I missed the news that the German Woolworth - which last year described the UK as on its "bucket list" - is opening its first Czech store soon, adding to the 800 it has across Germany, Austria and Poland.
I suspect I'll more likely see one in Slovenia before the UK though!
Supermarkets are closed on Sundays in Slovenia, so the last #MercatoroftheDay of this trip is a picture from a few days ago! This is the Dalmatinova store in the centre of Ljubljana.

Supermarketi so v Sloveniji ob nedeljah zaprti, zato je zadnji #Mercatordneva tega potovanja slika izpred nekaj dni! To je trgovina Dalmatinova v centru Ljubljane.

I'm pleased that my talk to @SpaldingCivic a fortnight ago not only attracted a large audience on the night, but that my "informative and uplifting" message about partnership working is now being used to encourage more local people to get involved 💪

Oh no! Don't tell me the #Newcastle Central Station clock has stopped again 🙈. Do I need to get another 139,000 views to get it fixed for a second time? 😜🕐 @networkrail
The clock at #Newcastle Central Station has been stuck at ten-past nine for more than *two years*.
How hard is it to make a clock tell the correct time? And why does no-one seem to care?

I just helped two lovely German ladies in Durham find the way back to their tour bus.
They barely spoke English - and my German is worse - but it's probably a good sign I kept finding myself instinctively trying to answer in Slovene!
I wished them "Gute Reise" at least 😊🇩🇪
It's always such a pleasure to catch up with Jo at @MoonJewellery in #Durham - a beautiful independent business on the city's main street, whose lovely decorated windows uplift the whole area.

It could all be a BHS-style disaster, but just as equally - and perhaps more likely - it is a chance for someone else to give the historic and already profitable WHSmith high-street business the love and attention it has been missing for years.
The successful sale of WHSmith's #highstreet chain will hopefully stop the most scaremongering headlines, though the seemingly made-up name TGJones *is* underwhelming.
I'd have delved into the archives for something like Sherratt & Hughes, a store WHSmith used to operate anyway.
