So, how many people get gibberish when I say the
price of a One Day Bus Pass currently stands at £3.50?


I don't, I get a pound sign.

I suspect the reason for this is the "Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=ISO-8859-1" line at the begriming. Most computers, operating
systems and software should be able to display this character set
properly.
