    Farken hell!

    Ive been on holiday for the last 3 weeks so hadnt bothered to renew my Oyster card until I am due to return to work (on Monday) but today I was officially bent over an apple cart by Red Ken!

    Eleven farken pounds to use the underground to go from Canary Wharf to Westminster with my wife and daughter! If'n that ain a 100% price increase because they have got rid of family travel cards!

    On the other hand...I feel "special" because now only the rich can afford to use the underground

    The poor will just borrow a bit more.

      You have to understand, it costs a hell of a lot of money to pay those crucial to public safety, lazy, disinterested semi-illiterate station staff a basic salary of £33k for a 35 hour week and 59 days paid leave every year.

          Couldn't they just tarmac the whole thing over? The big bits into motorways, the little tunnels into cycle paths.

            It would be too hard to get the push bikes in and out of the stations.

              I would suggest they spread some salt and grit about.
