evamermaid   10 #1 Posted February 4, 2007 Do you remember those bizarre machines on buses where you dropped in your fare and it printed out a ticket with the imprint of the actual coins on the back? Wouldn't work these days, hey...  I got thrown off the Number 4 bus once for putting in loads of half pennies causing the machine to go into overdrive!!! (Always an evil bus driver on the no. 4 route from Pond Street to Psalter Lane as I recall..) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yes, I used to pay for all of our group, in one go, in half pennies, which is what used to drive the bus driver round the bend. HUGE long tickets...
