Yes, I will approve anything really but please comment in the right section. Don’t comment on the DWP bit saying “nice game…..” as one person did.

I have and never will approve of censorship bit I do self-censor my posts. There are probably a million and one things I want to post but won’t.

As you may know, I’m sometimes “out and about”, this time in the area covered by South West Trains. I happened to be travelling back with them yesterday evening, with a pre-booked, paid for, I had it in my hand [ooo-err missus] ticket.

I got on the train that was earlier [there’s one an hour]. On a one-third full train I was instructed to get off at the next stop, even after other passengers sided with me and called him a ‘jobsworth’ and one even said that he ‘must have been bullied at school’. After confirming with him that it would have been no cheaper for me to use the ticket I had and that I obviously had no intention of evading my fare I was told to either pay £65 for a ‘valid’ ticket or he’d call the Police.

I waited an hour at the next stop, as there is only one an hour, for the next train.

Whoever you are, I’ll just call you twat, I salute you. Oh, and thanks for thinking I would pay a £26 penalty fare.

Apropos to/from nothing but why have 568ml [one pint for those over 40] cans started appearing in supermarkets? You can not possibly pour one can into a pint glass without spillage. 500ml cans were great. Now, at parties, you’ll be left holding an almost empty can and your pint glass.

Unless you follow the usual and encamp in the kitchen for the night, no traipsing backwards and forwards for more beer and nibbles in easy reach.
