lapal_fan Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 They should follow the honesty policy as they do in Germany. Self bought, self scanned (or punched). Have random, un-uniformed police checking tickets, if you are caught without the correct ticket the punishment is fairly harsh. They have something like a 92% success rate in people purchasing tickets etc. The only difference is that you don't get absolutely shafted on prices. National owned innit.

When I worked in Freiberg, transport on the tram on match days was free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public transport to big events is usually free. That's cool. I wasn't specifically talking about sporting events, that was just a time when I observed how many people must not have bought a ticket. If they policed ticket purchasing better they might save enough to offer matchday transport for free here too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think the rail companies would lower their prices? Freeze perhaps but never lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 That's why we also like cleavage, because it reminds us of bums from when we did them from behind before we turned them over. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much Spanish and upper-end French wine still has corks. Much more satisfying to open - you get to hear the word 'pork'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cork oak forests are teeming with wildlife and it's one of those traditional industries, with sustainable small farms and all that. Much better than some industrial metal pressing plant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I didn't realise I didn't have a corkscrew until @lapal_fan and his wife came round my house with a corked bottle. I had to run round to to my mum and dads to borrow theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 27, 2017 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2017 When I switched from a Swiss army knife to a Leatherman multitool, my one complaint was that it didn't have a corkscrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you, and where is the knife? Obviously the reaction is likely to be a different if you're on a camping trip with the kids, or if you've got it pressed against some mofo's neck outside a bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
