<div dir="ltr">Thanks David. It certainly isn't the electoral register. I'm not on the open register, and have voted since I lived at this address.

</span>That sounds like the old trick pushed by certain USA retail chains<br>
years ago before the days of "store cards" whereby when you went to<br>
buy a single item, you got pestered for your name and home address<br>
along with the payment. Never did agree to that either. And then<br>
"store cards" hit the scene... (At least that stopped the inquisition<br>
at the cash till!)<br>
<br>
<br>
So all "offenders" suffering a broken system despite real life<br>
practicalities are now to be Marketed at, with their consent because<br>
they freely gave up all their personal details (even under undue<br>
bamboozlement), with the Nottingham version of the dominant public<br>
transport "Oyster Card" that can only be used for that one dominant<br>
company?...<br>
<br>
(Note to self: Must split rants up into smaller sentences so as to be<br>
able to grab breath! :-) )<br>
<br>
<br>
As for doing a runner...<br>
<br>
You could well meet up with old Blakey again...<br>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Buses" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Buses</a><br>
<br>
And then there is to be the newly installed facial recognition on the<br>
IN YER FACE webcam as you step onboard... (So why are tickets and<br>
expensively broken ticket machines needed at all?...)<br>
<br>
<br>
I wonder if that is why I jog to work!<br>
<br>
<br>
Next rant is what to do about threatening overreaching car park<br>
notices that try to assume you agree to all the conditions including<br>
silliness that you have not read and the ridiculous punitive<br>
speculative invoices sent out for even a 1 second transgression on the<br>
imposed critically short time period. Other than not go there in the<br>
first place! (Note to a certain retail park manager: He and his site<br>
is blacklisted for evermore due to his hired carpark cowboys.)<br>
<br>
<br>
Good luck?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Martin<br>
