basingstoke twuntmaster general!
i met one of the most might jobsworths on the planet when i took a trip down to farnborough from brum

as there is no direct route i had to geta train to basingstoke and then another to farnborough

well... as i get into basingstoke i think...right...best go find out what platform and time the train is...

i show me jobsworth my ticket...which is different to the southern tickets as it is not slide in and read compatible due to the skankability of the midlands trains service

"thats to farnborough mate" he says as he insects my ticket

"yeah i know, i just need to check the times and platform of the next train to farnborough"

"no... you cant do that son"! (SON!!!?? WTF bearing in mind im 22...the only people who can call me that are my mar par and the police!)

"why not?" i asked

"cant have people doing that"

"HUH"???

he then proceeds to call his mate over and his mate then tells me i have an hour wait till the next train on platform number 4

to which point i needed to buy me some *wink* parecetamol from the chemist just over the road

"what do you need to go to the chemist for?" he asks

to which i was rather annoyed and decided to engage sarcasm mode

"to get some forceps to remove your head from your arse"

at which point i just snapped my ticket out of his hand and walked past him.

on the way back 5 mins before the train was due i just flicked him the bird and walked straight past him!!....he knew who i was so felt no need to show him my ticket!

thankfully he wasnt there for the return leg!
