Soon there will be nobody paying full fare . . .
I'm not saying that that's a bad thing, but somebody has to pay for public transport.

I heard about an English pensioner who travelled from Lands End to John o'Groats (or vice versa). Apparently he had to get a concession from Stagecoach in order to 'validate' his entitlement to travel in Scotland. Don't know why . . .
