# Plus!
Child soldiers travel free on't buses.

But no, it doesn't make sense to me, and I work for the bastards. Then again, I've been on hols the past week.

# Yup.
Free travelcard, and never having to worry about the possibility of facing life with dignity are just two of its perks.

# bah

# Nah, not for a while at least
after the PPP kicks in properly though, all bets are off.

That said, the Tube safety record is actually quite good inasmuch as in over a century of travel, they've never had two trains hit each other. More than National Rail can say. The jismsponges.

# What are you doing pissing about on here then?
Get back to work, those trains won't drive themselves (except on the Central line. And the DLR).

# Sod that!
I'm not back at work 'til Thursday.

And as a matter of fact, all tube trains are driverless. The fellow you see in the cab actually one of Debenhams' old mannequins with a bit of make-up on.

But tell no-one, 'cos we still get their paychecks and secretly split them amongst the union members.

They must be special magical posters that only I can see everywhere I seem to look at the moment!
