Just came across this thread. I was going to go to the launch, though not to buy one. I was there on opening day of the store, waited 2 hours to get and I'm actually wearing my free T-shirt now. I love the store in Eldon Square, it was a long time coming for a store in Newcastle, and recently a 2nd one has opened in the Metro Centre but I hate that place so do my apple shopping at ES.

Good pictures.

I tried getting a Job at the Metro centre one (had to do the interview thing at Eldon Square though)

Didnt get it :( (I am hoping it was down to no previous experience before hand... because if it was because I as a person wasnt what they were looking for that makes it even worse lol)

I tried for both, didn't get either. Anyway I think it was because I knew too much about Apple. Apple now tend to get people who know nothing or next to nothing for the shop floor, but get people who know everything for the specialists.
