No no no. £235 is the STANDARD fair, I'm charging you a penalty fair and I don't CARE that you bought one and lost it. That's YOUR problem not MINE.

I'm not sure I quite understand the animosity towards 'revenue protectors'. I've had some twerps in the past, but generally I have no problem with showing my ticket to them.

Unfortunately, the item in question has my vocation written all over it so either way, its going to be out there. I thought i'd attempt to find it at least on here but I know that the likelihood is very very slim. I'm not a popular man when i'm at work.

No one likes giving us money for one of three reasons.
Firstly and most obviously they are fare evaders. We are the people who attempt to stop them getting away with free/cheaper travel.
Secondly those who have genuine reasons may not be able to avoid a penalty fare due to the above group in the first place - we only see you on a small part of your journey and don't have long to make a decision as to if some one is lying to us. And often those who are lying use the exact same reasons that some one genuine has used.
Thirdly, we might need to charge a penalty fare if for example you were willing to buy a ticket but didn't and we either could have walked away from your journey without paying (at smaller stations) or if you could have come from much further than you've told us and didn't take the opportunity to verify this. The 99% might be genuine and have good reason to not have a ticket but you'd be surprised at how many people got on the train at "the station we've just left".
I know i'm not going to be popular and the profession does (as you've said) result in a lot of RPI's being tarred with the same brush but I know I try to be fair.
This isn't about my job though, I've lost something and i'm trying to get it back.

I lost a wallet in the old North stand over celebrating. Not only did some kind soul hand in my wallet, they left the season ticket stubs and the fiver that was in it, either of which I expected to be "taxed" as part of the deal for returning the cards! Thanks whoever you are.
Why do people have such low expectations of their fellow fans? I found a phone at Sellhurst Park, so texted people on it to get the owner to come and get it. He was completely shocked I wouldn't take the £20 reward he offered me.

Because they read the kind of comments posted by Bushy and Husty?
Sweet Jesus. I apologise for making you think back.
Good news: I'm with an Albion employee right now and the club have it in their possession.

sorry trig, attempted to give you a thumbs up but it appears to have gone in as a thumbs down!
No worries, I think everyone does that. I can't imagine there are people that don't love everything I say.
