I take it that you've never actually tried to use a modern ticket
machine then. You're lucky. Trust me, they're a _lot_ more complex
than a chocolate vending machine. At least the NR ones at my local
station are. I assume the TfL ones are just as bad.

Assumption, the mother of all f**k-ups.

I've personally got no problems with NR machines, but I accept they're
necessarily complicated. TfL machines are not.
