This could all be fixed with just a touch of decent management. Don't hate the player, hate the game! Is it Southern Rail down Soton way?As somebody who pays to commute to work every day via train, it really annoys me to see people getting on a train without a ticket, sitting down with obviously no intention of buying one from the guard, and then waiting until the rare occasion they are actually checked by a guard before innocently saying "can i buy a ticket" for a stop one of two stops down the line as if they've done nothing wrong.
And i'm not talking about train skipping youths who are probably struggling for money anyway, i'm talking about people i see on the train regularly, wearing formal clothes and clearly well off and commuting to work.
It's the lack of any remorse that gets me, as if they think its a perfectly fine thing to do.
And i bet they complain about the price of tickets going up...
Unfortunately i can't even call this rare.
They can't even get their guards to turn up for work, let alone walk the length of the train.

Almost the same here. My BBC Weather phone app has been wrong, wrong, wrong, even when it changes its great big mind in Bracknell, it's still wrong, on the whole. On the other hand, my three barometers, one electronic, two old school [pressure/vacuum, and spring and tap-tap from me] have all been deadly accurate, down to details. Bracknell still can't reliably forecast the Southampton microclimate. Strange that they get it almost unerringly right in the shipping forecast for the area though. You'd think the land folks would have a quick peek at the coastal pepys' workings. Same computer.Beautiful blue skies where I have been all week .... despite the forecast. Perfect week to have off
I love Salcombe, beautiful spot!
It is. Trouble is, my heart always wants to be just that little bit further west into Cornwall.
And I finally remembered I watched Snowden [2015] the other night. Superb, unmissable. If you haven't seen it, do. The acting performances are excellent throughout just for starters, and the story is true, of course. Having said all that, it's not for everybody. However, it would educate anyone who sees it. Bar the people responsible for the story. And it might educate the odd one or two of them too.
Yes, well I'd move it to the top of that list. It doesn't disappoint if you like that sort of thing. At the moment it is highly topical too,
Then I would watch it the very next time you have control of the TV and media, and have a good drop of alcohol at your elbow.
