Friday moan up.

[aftershavedave]

Nope. A return to Lewes is £3.90. The weekly ticket is £24.80.

And I meant every day, or 'every time' that I'm on the train - not necessarily every day.

how do you manage that? you start work at 10am?

My daughter who travels from East Worthing to Durrington most mornings to attend college has to pay 3 pound something for her fare.
So far so good I hear you say - a most reasonable tarrif for a 3-4 mile journey.
Now the problem she has is that because East Worthing has no ticket office and the ticket machine is nearly always out of action she has to pay for her ticket on the train. Now here is the bit that gets me. If she does not have the exact money for her fair and she was to present a crisp ten pound note to the ticket collector he informs her that he can not issue any return change and if she wants change given then she has to leave the train at the next station because she is travelling illegally.
I know we have a few boys on here who work on the railways................ please tell me I`ve got this wrong.



2nd moan................ My young son was told to leave the shop on the way to school the other morning as there were already 2 school children in there and the shopkeeper operates a maximum of only 2 children in at once policy - which I have been told is commonplace nowadays - in his establishment.

Bastard kids.

Solution 1, Season Ticket

Solution 2, Chinese policy , 1 child per family

Is it f***

You work for Southern, right?

Apparently, you lot have been told (on some notice board, or via a bulletin or something) that the 0852 from Brighton to Ore (I get on it at 0855 at London Road) is to be classed as a cheapday. That's what one of your colleagues said, and, more to the point, I'm ALWAYS charged £3.90.

 

[Danny-Boy]

Do they still have those little permit to travel machines that shows you at least attempted to pay your way?

I think so Nib, they had one at Berwick station when I went through there a few weeks ago.

But they switch them out when the main machines with destinations are working - I think.

Are you in poetic vein this morning?

 

[Questions]

Solution 1...................... more expensive
(only marginally cheaper if you do 5 days)

Solution 2...................... I`m not moaning about the cost am I ?

Correct Mr Albion ROAR, that is the first train from London Rd not Brighton though you can use a off peak return not the £6ish anytime day return

What about the 2 kids in the shop policy which is creeping in now......

Would f*** The Early Learning Centre right up wouldn`t it ?

 

[The Peanut Roaster]

Every time I get on at East Worthing, I always pay on the train. I never knew it was an offence.

I guess he's picking on her because she's an easy target, unlike a tough ( although extremely handsome ) sod like me.

 

[Spiros]

Most people I see getting on at East Worthing seem to do their level best to avoid paying before they get off at either Lancing or West Worthing, depending on the direction of the train. In my experience you, sir, are unique

I always get you confused with that other 'Peanut Roaster' who used to live opposite me. Now he is one ugly motherfucker.

Questions send your daughter in my direction and I'll teach her the fine art of jibbing.

Jib:
