Well, I do it loads

 

When I go to Bolton on a Friday, I go by train then I can get w?nkered with Mr H

 

So, put the headphones on and go to sleep, it's very rare that anybody comes round and if they do they won't wake you

 

Plus, when arriving at Bolton, exit from the back entrance near the Cattle Market and there's nobody there

 

Now, I'd gladly pay if the service was on time but if it's run like a khazikstan cattle railway so I aint paying

Turnstiles, not Trains. Jibbing trains are easy.

Only at the Eddie Stobart

 

Football is too secure

 

Rugby on the other hand is a piece of p?ss

 

Widnes Jr has never paid for a game

Mounting a turnstile is easier than mounting a goat, but jibbing a train to the NE and back,well thats another bag of turnips.

You want to ride on a train then pay for it.

 

You want to take your son to the rugby then pay for him to get in.

 

People are quick to call others for all sorts of things but seem to think it's ok for them to do what they want when they want.

 

Think me a fool for being honest if you like but what I have is what I've worked for and earned - I've never had the need to take things from those weaker or dumber than myself.

Now you see, of an evening it is nigh on impossible in my experience. I have never been asked for my fare on a train after 8. I don't consider myself dishonest, just someone who frankly can't be arsed to f?ck about finding someone to pay when I've got better things to do.

We're different types of people and certainly coexist in differrent worlds

 

But I probably agree with you

 

Except

 

If a train runs on time, then there is a reason for paying it, however, trains from Bolton to Widnes never run on time, seriously, bolton to manc - manc to Widnes never ever run on time.... now this isn't because of money it's because national rail and whatever train company can't seem to interact

 

So, if the service was reliable, I'd happily pay

 

In reality, either train a or train b is late (cancelled) doesn't turn up

 

I assume you don't use the trains

 

Apart from the scoucers trains, the rest are utterly shocking

 

And I travel most of the week via train due to my office locations

 

For the record, I claim expenses so it's irrelevent if I pay or not as I claim it back, but why should people pay for a second rate service?

 

PS I've never knocked one out yet on a train, if I do, will I become one of the Metre high club?

widders is still struggling to find anybody dumber than himself so hes excused

 

I treat him like my father and this is how he repays me

 

Shut it c?nthouse

Simple pay for an extra ticket the next time you buy one - one for your current travel and one for the time you didn't pay.

 

If you know you didn't pay for something that you had then it's not too difficult (nor too late) to put things right.

 

Look I'm not some righteous nut or something - we all know right from wrong - I'm simply someone who finds it more comfortable to do things honestly.

 

I was brought up in the slum clearance of Halliwell in the sixties and lived in council houses until I was twenty something so I'm not even someone who has had the luxury of being rich enough that money didn't really matter to me or my family.

 

Sure there are many rich people who do their best to avoid paying taxes and there are plenty poor who rip off the benefits - I can't do anything about any of them.

 

All I'm bothered about is my daughter and me.

 

If people want to rip off British Rail or the local rugby club or whatever - its up to them - but don't try justifying it to yourself with some lame excuse or other.

 

You rode on a train - it might not be on time, there might not be anyone to pay - but you do know that you are required to pay - you do have the means to pay - and yet you don't - and you think that is ok?

Simple pay for an extra ticket the next time you buy one - one for your current travel and one for the time you didn't pay.

 

Now, will you please all stop laughing at the back of the class!!

You are taking the piss now aren't you? I rarely go on trains, and it's only in the evening hence my post!

But hanyhoo, as I say ,you are taking the piss aren't you?

I blame Dr Beeching for taking our trains out of Leigh, so i jib any rail journey i can.

Yep

 

If I didn't delver I wouldn't be paid

 

If my company didn't deliver it wouldn't be paid

 

If a company had to apologise 3 times per 5 mins because it didn't meet it's target should it be paid

 

If a service was forced to apologise for it's poor service should it do it every 5 mins

 

If a service has to apologise to it's customers more that 100 per day should it be paid

 

Where do I start

 

We'll do false information or no information next if you want

 

You get what you pay for or am I missing something?

Youll be telling me shoplifting is wrong next and that a shot of rohypnol in a young ladies drink is to be frowned upon

BigToe

 

You are correct

 

Rape and Beastilaty will be wrong next

 

Rug munching and farming isn't wrong

 

Show us your udders you filthy little minx xxxx

Totally agree, I mean whats wrong with suprisingly jizzing over a young ladies face whilst eating a cream cake?

 

I remember the days when suddenly inserting the finger up the bottom of an unsuspecting female standing at the bustop was just seen as high jinx

 

not anymore, and were all the worse for it

You can't even strangle people, roll them up in carpet then throw them off bamber bridge these days

 

Whatever happened to the day of the trucker murderer

 

Next you'll be saying that smelling my rag is wrong

Justify not paying to yourself however you please but if you don't like the service then don't use it - drive, get a taxi, get someone to drive you, walk, hitch hike, don't go - whatever.

 

If you are prepared to use the service knowing it to be bad - then pay - after all, delays or not - it actually does get you from where you are to where you want to go doesn't it?

 

It obviously fulfils your requirement otherwise you would not use the service - then pay the train fare.

 

Look I'm not wanting to make a point about trains or rugby clubs, etc - all I'm saying is folk know right from wrong - everything after that is down to your own conscience. If you want to avoid paying for something that you have had then that's up to you.

 

Not the way I chose to live though.

Widnes, you are just a cheap scouse thieving peasant
You are taking the piss now aren't you? I rarely go on trains, and it's only in the evening hence my post!

But hanyhoo, as I say ,you are taking the piss aren't you?

 

No I'm not.

 

I'm sorry if you think I'm some weirdo or something because I do pay for things that other people would take and not give a second thought about - just the way I am.

No I'm not.

Weirdo might be a bit strong but certainly I find your advice as to what to do as rather odd. My conscience is clear and will remain so until British rail give me a reasonable chance to pay.

On a similar theme. When you visit a restaurant, get the bill and notice the bottle of wine hasn't been added

 

don't tell me you let them know so they can add it on?
