All the buses I used this morning had "defective" card readers. One
driver had put a piece of paper over the reader saying "free day" and
happily telling everyone that it was a "special offer day" on the tube
and buses.

I thought for a minute it was the new mayor of London attempting to make
himself popular...


It will be interesting to see what the reaction from Team Boris is.


I have to admit, I did wonder, having seen this story:
