blogging what makes us jolly cross

    Who: Me, myself, @BenjiW (Again!)

    Where: Birmingham New Street Station

    Event:

    “To forget your season ticket once is considered unfortunate, to forget it twice smacks of carelessness.”

    I’m a fare dodger. Not on purpose. I left my season ticket pass and wallet by my bed this morning. I dodged the fare. (But got a penalty ticket so justice in the universe remains balanced)

    It’s the second time I’ve forgotten it. (The appeals system only allows you to appeal twice in a twelve month period, so I can’t forget it again!) The staff were very helpful, sweet and polite. I’ve appealed it, sent proof of my season ticket and all will be well.

    What tips does any one have so I can remember it?

    Grrrometer: In the grand scheme of things it’s small fry. But if I forget another time I could end up in court. 3 out of 10.

    I do same. Now I keep in a zipped location of purse at all times. In winter it is on parka zipper because nothing worse than no pass in the cold.
