Inside Lives: everyone has a story inside them
Ant & DecNewcastle and Champagne

Author: Christine Bowker
Christine Bowker lives in Bucknall, but is originally from Newcastle-upon-Tyne. She still goes back there when she can, and when she does, she really makes the most of it!

Inside LivesHear - and read - Christine's story
"Both have huge grins on their faces, as she walks over in the shortest of miniskirts... you can see her very expensive red knickers!"

Christine is a mum of 3 who loves to visit Newcastle-upon-Tyne as all her family live there. She is at college studying her for her NVQ in childcare. In her spare time Christine likes to go out on a Saturday night and drink lots of champagne.

My story is fun and is about the love that sisters have for each other. Inside Lives has been brilliant! I would encourage everyone to have a go. We all have a thousand stories inside of us!

Newcastle champagne capital.

That's what a survey said last week: that Newcastle-upon Tyne drank the most champagne in Britain.

Could me and my sister Shirley have helped?

Out on the town, it's Saturday night.

We start off down the Quayside. Ocean View Bar: one of the most expensive and exclusive bars around.

We walk in as if we own the place.

It's £95 for a bottle of Moet Chandon.

We have one each!

Then it's off to the Lodge: Ant and Dec's place.

They're in! I say.

Shirley laughs: they're lookalikes!

It's them! I say, as I order 2 more bottles.

The Geordie Boys are one of the most popular double acts on TV. And we're in the same room as them!

Shirley can't resist going over for a photo.

Both have huge grins on their faces, as she walks over in the shortest of miniskirts.

As she walks, you can see her very expensive red knickers.

She's got a top on--well almost: not much at the front, nothing at the back.

I am a bit more demure in a long-sleeved top and trousers.

You couldn't get more opposite.

But if one thing ties us together it's our love, love for each other, love for life...

our love for champagne, especially on a Saturday night in Newcastle.
