What's the MATTER with you people? I don't make this stuff up, you know. A reader writes to ask whether the hotel in Newcastle I wrote about a few days ago was made up in my brain. The answer is: no, it was not. Here - yet again (and last time it was the facial hair on the dioramas) - is some photographic evidence, proving that The Royal Station Hotel, Newcastle, could be a set for a UK-based TV adaptation of The Shining, with Shane Ritchie in the Jack Nicholson role.

The first floor landing. Please note the air of Evil hanging in the air, and the mismatched carpet and wallcoverings.

If you narrow your eyes and hold your breath, you will see blood pouring down this corridor. The white light at the end is probably a ghost.

My well-stocked minibar. The white blobs at the bottom are four miniature cartons of UHT milk.
I mean
really. Could you have imagined that carpet?

Yes, but how do I know you didn't make up these pictures in your head and then got a CAT-scan in a frightening attempt to get us to believe?
Damn you, PTB! You have FOUND ME OUT.
Oh well that place looks just dee-lightful! Did they decorate it in the dark you think? Wow and real live photographic evidence of the lesser spotted mint club bar - impressive indeed.

At least YOU believe me, M. x
Oh, and those curtains, all the complicated draperies. And what was the picture of on the landing? Is it a scary face or just the reflection of one?
