This was about 2am on a night bus, therefore my faculties were not at
their best and I was off by 50 quid or so when he asked how much I'd paid
for it. However I was correct in telling him that it was purchased from
Liverpool Street but he wouldn't believe that - not sure why.
A bit of a scary moment, but I figured that if he threw me off the bus
I could (a) wait for the next one and (b) file an official compliant
about him - knowing that my ticket was 100% valid.
They also asked "what time did you buy it" and "what zones is it",
"did you buy it from the machine or the ticket office", "how did you
pay for it" , "how much change did you get back"
They answered the time correctly and the zones.
The revenue inspector was more concerned with being 90p off and the
wrong station for some reason.
A bit mean I think!!
You'd better get *really* sad and read your travelcards for their time
of issue, learning a few station codes as well...
