I don't know what all the fuss is concerning the train fare. I used to travel on trains when there was 3rd, 2nd and 1st class compartments and when 3rd class was full have had to pay the extra to the inspector for being seated in 2nd class.

As for the Andrew Mitchell affair, it was fortunate for the police that their 442 page record pushed some of their quite serious misdeeds off the front pages for a month. Did his action really warrant a police delegation from WARWICKSHIRE to travel to London to talk to Mitchell or was that to gain favourable police publicity? Having read some of the police log it reminded me of how annoying some people can be when they repeatedly parrot the same officious phrase. Maybe the reason I'm veering on the side of Mitchell is that I've been known to lose my top with acivilian enforcement officer when being handed a parking fine. I noticed someone else on this board also called first formers "plebs" - this was the accepted term at the grammar school I attended in Yorkshire back in the 1950s.
