There are half a dozen waiting for each train at King's Cross, and
they seem to wake me up on every damned journey. (I'm afraid I
snapped at one of them the other day when he woke me for the
fourth time in one journey...)

First Crapital are of course claiming that hiring more ticket inspectors
is good for *us*. How is quite unclear. (But they stuck their logo
on the outside of the trains as well as ramming up fares, so they
*must* be good, ho-ho.)
