Boltar wouldn't understand the concept of free beer ("I want lemonade, and I
want it now!"), and probably thinks that 'sex' is something that happens
between consenting fives and sevens.

I couldn't care less about free beer - beer tastes like crap and most
people only drink it because they were too spineless to stand up to
peer pressure in their teens and twenties.

As for the paedo reference - as well as being a desperately cheap shot
I suspect says rather a lot about your preferences.

Any apologies from the driver? What do you bloody think. But naturally
when we get to finsbury park we get the "regulating the service"
bull**** delay. ******s.

Utterly ****ing pathetic.

How the other half live; up North we'd give our right-arms to wait
just 10mins for the next train haha.

Zone 6 to zone 3 is only a quid? Given its costs me 1.50 to go from
zone 4 to 2 I find that hard to believe.

It's true. The fares differ according to the time of day and day of
the week, and the fare in one time period (the terms "peak/off-peak"
are shunned by LU) is one pound for any journey that doesn't include
zone 1, regardless of number of zones.

Not any more though. See the new fares booklet, referred to in the recent

Huh? OK, it's £1.10 from 2 January but that's the Oyster fare for any
off-peak tube travel not including Zone 1. See page 5 of the fares booklet.

Yeah , but when it did turn up it would only have 3 people on it on
their way to the dole office. A 10 minute wait on the tube in the rush
hour is enough time for almost an entire trains worth of people to
collect on one station platform - which is usually the station before
the one you're waiting at. Which means you can't get on.

My mistake - I was referring only to the point about 'peak and off peak'
being 'shunned by LU'.

That people think complaining about shonky service is nitpicking

It's not *that* you complain, it's the *way* you complain.
