I seem to remember that online ticket sales in UK were banned from adding a Booking Fee.. now with their change of wording today Ticket Factory online booking charge me a "Fulfilment Fee" .. time to write to my MP.

I've just paid a "restoration" fee ontop of some ticket prices.

The language thing isn't new, it goes back ages. I was an apprentice in Carlisle during the early 60's and the rest of the blokes were all northerners from the wilds of Geordieland and Cumberland. Me, being a Southerner, the North started at Barnet...., that's where the Northern Line on the underground stopped. It took months just to get the hang of basic Geordie and Cumbrian. If there was a group of them together, they might as well have been speaking Swahili. But I learned later that they were the very best at telling the posh wafflers that they was takkin a lord of hoss-shite..... Great times - and great blokes

Australia was the same........ get a load of conscript Country farm boys in the workshop and I'd be lost....
