Not a criticism of you, Lambton Worm, but it says a lot about NCL, and the North East in general that we regard it as strange that a route from one post-industrial city in Germany to another post-industrial city in the UK, attracts folks from the one in Germany.
You're right, though. I went through NCL last week and as always, the overwhelming majority of accents I heard were from the North East. Which contrasts slightly with the Newcastlegatesheadalloneword people's assertions that Tyneside is some sort of world-class tourist destination. I wonder where NCL stands in any league table of UK airports' outbound/inbound ratios?
