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!

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother. 
    • Sadly they don't do the full range of post office services
