Reading Cards

Saturday and Sunday were fairly quiet. So I decided to make use of the time and have a look at where all the visitors were from. Come up with a list type thing. But there were a couple of problems. Our local bus pass has Torbay proudly written large in the top right hand corner. A place up the road, Teignbridge, has it written so small a Sherlock Homes type magnifying class would be needed to read it. OK Teignbridge is only a small place but there is no need to let the bus drivers of England work that out for themselves. Maybe they couldn't afford the ink. Other places have also caused some puzzlement. The first out of town pass I saw was from the City of Centro (OK, I do now know where Centro is) and today along with Cornwall, Dover, London, Cheshire I came across Metro. I though Batman came from Metro or some similar named place. I asked the bearer of the Metro pass where Metro was, Yorkshire it seems. If you are from Yorkshire don't be ashamed, someone has to be from Yorkshire, say so on your pass. While we are here what is the two card London Freedom Pass all about. 15 years ago I would have thought Nelson Mandela had something to do with it, but freeing him is out of date now. I know London is different than the rest of the country, poor sods, but this is only a bus pass after all.

The Photo? Someone pinned it on the wall at work and I thought I would share it with you. Not all examples of humour that make it to our august wall are as sophisticated as this.
