Have you used this expression/slang? To say you have Metro-knowledge about something = you can talk for 2-4 minutes on a subject.

Oh this is my stop...

And draw diagrams. Metro knowledge however is much better than no knowledge, and has refreshingly less baggage that Guardian or Daily Mail knowledge.

There'll be a small box on this new term in Metro tomorrow.

Thanks to Metro, today I learned that the convict leering through the bars on the Jail square is called Jake the Jailbird.

Under what circumstances would you need to talk for more than 2-4 minutes on a subject? Apart from say work presentations. Any more than 2-4 minutes and the subject is old & tired. Metro RULES.

Sometimes I go to the station, just to get a copy of the Metro, to read on my walk to work. Well, not really, I'd feel like I was in that Amiele film if I did twee things like that.

Re: metro knowledge being less loaded with baggage than either guardian knowledge or daily mail knowledge.

To a certain extent metro knowledge IS daily mail knowledge, as the Mail owns it.

but there seems to be a hella lot less editorialising in Metro, plus there's loads more facts too.

It would be twee if you burst into an explosion of butterflies afterwards.

Oh LORD no. It's the bite-sized Daily Mail. I see it once a week when I go to work on a friend's website and that's all I can take.

It's the bite-sized Daily Mail

It might be owned by the Mail but it's more closely related to the Evening Standard (a lot of the news stories are recycled from the previous night's Standard).
