£2 Counter transaction charge.

[Chris Jameson]

My Aunt Sylvia lives in Halesowen, she's nice.

Hopefully this draws a line under the whole tedious saga. Thanks Aunt Sylvia.

Is it still the number 9 that runs from Stourbridge to Birmingham?

I repeat - the £2 charge is under review. If this is how exclusive news is treated on here I shall consider taking it elsewhere in future.

If its anything like your last* exclusive news, you should keep it to yourself!



[Shudders from memory of Dave announcing we'd signed Emile fucking Heskey]

I also said we were signing Darren Bent and sacking Alex McLeish. Just call me Scoop.

I wish I could just concentrate on the good times.

Yes.

The 2 quid bus thread has just been born. Happy days.

[Chris Jameson]

How about a load of us* spend Saturday riding the number 9 route all day as some sort of protest about the £2.00 transaction charge?




* Not me obviously, when I say 'us' I mean you lot.

We should protest the fact its £2.50 to get on the bus. We can all pile down to Stourbirdge and go on the rampage in Oldswinford, drinking pints of guest ales in their pubs.

That would cost a fortune. Go to the game instead, pay your two extra quid, two pints for a tenner, chicken and chips for a fiver and deal with it.

£2.50? Is that a return? Only pay £2.00 and inform them of the protest. Same in the pubs. They'll understand, tell them it's an anti bullying campaign too and you might get some sponsors.

Bully!

He can't bully you. You've got more posts than him.

When are you changing your username to £2thinker?

It's tempting but I might have to change it back if they change their minds. I think I'll wait for the third umpire's decision.

[freethinker]

On a serious note it's good to hear they're reconsidering and far better to admit a mistake than be stubborn, but you have to question the competence of whoever dreamt up the idea. As others have said it's a stunt worthy of Ryan Air and has been an unmitigated PR disaster.

[Chris Jameson]

It will be wrong.

Didn't you also break the fact that we were actually, seriously, genuinely considering - and I still can't believe this ever happened - appointing Alex McLeish?

A day which will live in infamy.

I work in Halesowen. Makro certainly is the best thing about it but Costco is better anyway.

I rest my case.
