I just bought an apple. 40p. 40p! 8 bob, for f**k's sake. For an apple!

How much is a bus ride, I wonder. I expect it's almost a quid :hehe:

I've seen insects on them and so on. Also birds may have pooped on them.

raspberries and even some garlic.

All very reasonable in terms of cost too.

Wd pick your own.

You can't even pay in cash anymore c. You can't even give your money to Mr or Mrs bus driver to board said vehicle. Everything's gone tits up.

I only went from Marble Arch to Hyde Park Corner. 1.45? A cab would have been cheaper.

You'll join a long, confused, line of people gleefully rejected for foolishly trying to use their money on public transport in order to use said public transport.

Oyster is only tracked if it's registered to your name. Just don't register. I've got about 5 cards, you can have one if you like.

As she was getting off, she struck you firmly in the old gentleman with her bag, I think it was. And didn't even apologise, just looked at you as though you had not business having your John Thomas just hanging there where her bag could hit it. You were quite miffed at the time.

Also, his byline pic appears to show him wearing a waistcoat over a casual shirt. Surely this is a look you can only get away with if you are in Fleetwood Mac or at a pinch, are Francis Rossi?
