Re: Newcastle trams.

And it was reported that it was about Chinese gamblers not wanting to ride
an 'unlucky' numbered tram. In which has they should not have had a 4 (Well
2104 is gone now) but 14 should have been skipped too. 13 phobia is
western, not eastern.

(Apparently, the Chinese word for 4 sounds very similar to the world for
death)
