Regarding the whole speculation about HK and goths, I think I need to set the record straight.
Hello Kitty is NOT popular among "alternative types". It depends on the alternative type. I know some who like HK and some who hate it with a fiery passion.
There's a lot of poseurs who do get HK and similar gear from stores like Hot Topic. I've mostly heard them called mall goths. I've never heard the term Bat Babies.
However, we don't know if this was the case with her. She may have just been wearing it ironically.
Additionally, we don't even know if she identified with goths in any way. There are other subcultures that like facial piercings and Docs. We also don't know if she was a 'poseur' (that's kind of an insulting term), I wouldn't consider someone who made no claims to being a goth one for not strictly adhering to a certain dress code. That seems juvenile to me.
When you look at pink then there's a bigger range there. I know some serious 'alternative types' who do like pink or have stuff with pink accents. An old friend of mine has a style that sounds a lot like this Doe's but without Hello Kitty... and she has some stuff like a bag with pink fur. Yet she's a hardcore metalhead and really active in the local metal community, etc.
I don't think the fact that our Doe has a HK shirt and some pink stuff is enough to say she's a fan of the singer P!nk, I just don't see it. Sorry. :waitasec: While that sounds a bit like P!nk's style there are other singers with a similar one. She may have also been there to see any number of other shows if she was into that genre or if she was a 'mall goth'.
I should also mention, most 'mall goths' also tend to be younger in age. So it's possible she's not a goth at all and is part of another subculture or even none at all or that she was wearing the shirt ironically. Or that she just happened to like Hello Kitty.
'train ticket and timetable for the Edinburgh to Manchester Airport train line.'
i presumed with this info it was a single ticket .. but i could be wrong.. i wonder if i was to make a phone call they would give more details ?
The single train ticket doesn't mean it was one way. I don't know about that train line but I've been in places where a single ticket was a two-way one. I also know when I'm travelling, I'll probably keep the tickets I need to get out at hand and put away in my main bag the ones I've used. So it could be a ticket out but she could have a ticket in stashed away somewhere (not in her pockets or purse) or vice-versa.
