"well i dont know what you are going to do because im not paying"

a very brisk walk got me to liverpool street so i could make the 6.30pm-fighting to get to ipswich to watch fight club at the cinema. Scribbling some notes down for walk and aware there wouldnt be time 4 pick n mix i thought it prudent to invest in a can of adnams and a cheese sandwich. A lively ic3 ticket inspector came rd and asked a well spoken 50something women for her ticket. My attention had already been drawn to her as she was using a massive keypad phone which bleeped everytime she typed a character. The ticket inspector advised the lady her ticket was not valid for journeys between 4.30pm and 6.30pm. She challenged him and said she was on a 6.30pm service and it was now well past 6.30pm,he advised she would have to pay 4 another ticket which was to be £22. The lady refused and the inspector took her ticket advised he would "come back" and went off to check more tickets. Somehow i doubt the btp or the massive security guards at colchester were going to be on stand by for her when she got to the station-maybe if she was a young chav there would have been...?
