My son just sent this warning -

Be wary of ticket inspectors on the London bridge to Tulse Hill train. A couple of guys just got on my train claiming to be ticket inspectors but something seemed off with them. Their hi vis vests didn’t look right and their IDs just looked a bit sketchy. they said they were taking a “ticket survey” and when I said that I have a ticket they didn’t push me on it. I think it’s a scam to get you to touch your card on their reader but they were fairly convincing at a first glance.

Now they’ve sat down and stopped ‘inspecting tickets’

Update - when I got off the train I asked the ticket collectors at the exit about it & they said the IDs are fake so be warned!

Reminds me of touts in India, showing you to a bus seat, but we're not official.  And the guy that sold me a meal on the train only to disappear.  I'm probably a pound or two out of pocket 

I also got threatened by a drunk railway bloke in Hungary who tried to take money off me 

All good anaddotes!

    • William, a farmer, farming with both his parents who are in their 80s, summed up the nonsensical approach the government is taking on farmers on Question Time tonight when he said: "At the point at which inheritance tax becomes due you aren't in a position to pay it without selling an income bearing asset which then destabilises the very entity you have built up to create a profit from". He summed it up beautifully when he closed: "If this policy were to persist it will materially and existentially destabilise our [the county's] farming business " The biggest clap of the programme came from the ex-NFU president who accused the government panelist: "Why aren't you going after the wealthy investors, the private equity businesses that are buying up land, planting trees, offsetting their green conscience. You've done nothing to them. They're the ones driving up land prices. These farmers do not want to sell their asset....they want to invest in it and this is going to stifle investment. Who is going to want to invest in new buildings as that is going to drive up the value of the estate." "You're going after the wrong people". It's amazing that the government have been daft enough to pick a fight with farmers - Alastair Campbell commented that he did react with shock when it was announced in the budget as, he said, you don't start a fight with farmers.
