The new Bristol Skyline

I can see the middle aged Mail Tourette's apologists (Tee hee hee! Gypsies!) going for that like a mob of crap-jacketed rats.

In full effect.

There's a bit of a theme there, I think.

( Or perhaps not... )

Travel broadens the mead.

My old travelcard wallet is held together with black gaffer and contains a picture of a startled stranger.

No real surprise there.

However, the price of the monthly zone 2+3 pass that I remember mithering about in 2000?[1] - £45

Compare and contrast with the current cost of same - £80.

Or the FGW 'equivalent' - £182

... It's cheaper for me to drive to work.[2]


[1] That still looks weirdly like the future.
[2] Or at least some combination of drive + bike so as to avoid paying for parking in Bath, which is Not Cheap.
