The UK’s Most Hated Railway Put a 15 Year-Old in Charge of Its Twitter Account, and the Results Are Hilarious

Southern Rail, a UK railway company, has been bogged down with bad press lately. Between late trains and industrial disputes, the name “Southern Rail” probably leaves a bad taste in riders’ mouths.
But recently, they made the best PR move they could possibly make—they had a 15 year-old named Eddie run their Twitter account.
The teen, who’s at the company on work experience, took over the account for a Q&A and things got out of hand in the best possible way.
Read some of the tweets down below!
Eddie, question…
Shall I have chicken fajitas tonight or chicken thai green curry? #AskEddie

Hi Eddie! Would you rather fight 1 horse sized duck or 100 duck sized horse? ?
— Adam Winstone (@adam_winstone) July 11, 2017
100 duck-sized horses. A horse-sized duck would be pretty scary! You? ^Eddie

I don't think I've got the stamina to fight 100 of anything. I'm taking my chances with the giant duck ?

Suite yourself, a horse-sized duck would be pretty ferocious ? ^Eddie

Hi Eddie, what is the worst monger? Iron, fish or war?

Hi, it has to be a war monger. The fish monger at my nearest ASDA is amazing. ^Eddie

Hi Eddie. Will a boy ever be born who can swim faster than a shark? *I kind of have to ask this on every Q&A btw. Private joke*

Hi, I don't think so but you never know there could be a girl that can. ^Eddie
— Southern (@SouthernRailUK) July 11, 2017
Oh god Eddie, why are they doing this to you…they're not even paying you.
Run, run better than Southern Rail.
