What a lovely weekend it has been! The sun is shining the kids are in the street playing with SuperSoakers and hoses, and the world bows down to the World Cup! Oh by the way, I have succombed to BlogRanking..... aaarrrrgggghhhh

It just seems a shame that it also means I have torant about idiots who think the world is above them and because they want to be special that we have to treat them like royalty.... She was acting like a child though, and brought a smile even to my face!

Okay less description more story:

Many of you probably know my attitude by now, if people make an effort I will bend over backwards to help. If, like woman A, you join my train at London Waterloo, walk past me, and then try to buy a ticket with a railcard AFTER depature, you ain't got a hope in hell.

So this is what woman A did. Technically. I should have sold her a Standard Day Single ticket, but she wanted to come back the next day (today) so I let her have a discounted next day return, but politely refused to give her the railcard discount (Those of you with railcards will be aware that the terms and conditions state you must buy your ticket at the station where facilities exist), she paid, but was complaining that revenue at the other end would not notice, etc etc etc, called me a jobsworth and the variants. Her argument that a guard always comes through the train to issue tickets is flawed in that there are times when our machines fail, or there are none available.

Things were quiet for about an hour until gentleman B joined at Micheldever, a station in the middle of no-where with NO ticket facilities except between 6 and 10 in the morning Mon to Fri. He sat right opposite her...

gent B, is entitled to get a Young-Persons discounted ticket on the train. He had less than a 0% chance of buying it at the station, and is obviously not penalised for doing that. She did not like that one bit. I am now a f*ing jobsworth ct, who is intent on p***ing her off (apparently), a comment she loudly re-itterated when she left the train at Eastleigh.

So if you ARE reading this WOMAN A.... I am currently contemplating having 6 weeks on the sick for the mental scaring the names you called me caused. Oh and by the way, the audio was clear as day..... thanks for dropping yourself in it!

Anyway rant over.... sunny day, I am going to pla the computer.... bye!
