Ask Eddie trends on Twitter after Southern put work experience student in charge

Train operator Southern put a work experience student in charge of its Twitter feed today - with inevitable results.

The student, identified only as 15-year-old Eddie, announced their arrival by saying they would be glad to answer passengers' questions.

They then found themselves fending off a flood of questions ranging from the obscene to the ridiculous.
