In my cab-driving days an elderly American told his wife to ‘call the bobbies’ because there was £3.20 on the meter and we hadn’t gone anywhere. |

There would have been an almost infinite opportunity for coiffure-related comparisons had Joe’s career coincided with that of our own Phil Parkes. |

To annoy Leicester is my guess. They don’t like getting wet and muddy. |

Enjoyed our Joe Hart ‘Head & Shoulders’ chant a few years ago (which he seemed to find amusing too):
He’s got a nice scalp
He’s got a nice scalp
Joe Hart
He’s got a nice scalp |

Wonder how many of the baying mob applauded him when he took what turned out to be his final lap of honour towards the end of last season? Conduct unbecoming on Saturday IMO. |

My typically daft observation is that the scoreboard operator clearly wasn’t expecting Saito’s early goal (much like the rest of us I suspect). It was at least four more minutes before it registered on the screen! |

On the contrary. He loved Christmas so much he didn’t want anything to do with Queens Park Rangers. |

Good points well made and well argued. The genie is clearly out of the bottle but it does make me chuckle when I stroll past the expensive new ‘artisan’ baker at the end of my road when the ‘sorry, cash only’ sign is displayed when their payment systems have crashed again. The confusion and panic among the yummy mummys and their beanie-hatted, goatee-bearded partners is palpable. I’ll save my story about attempting to use a fiver to buy a Cornish pasty in Bude for another occasion (suffice to say that I think of it every time I see that ‘crypto only’ ad on TV). |

I understand that it’s all about cost-savings for business but it’s being achieved by outsourcing those costs to the individual consumer who has to bear the expense of smartphones, contracts etc and the general aggravation that goes with it. My point was more about choice. How difficult or costly would it be for West Ham to knock out a few normal tickets for non-conformists like me (let alone these multi-billion pound sportswashed ‘football’ clubs owned by smiling, bonesaw-wielding dictators?) At least our lot still provide Season Ticket cards for smartphone refuseniks like me.
Another point about choice: in my previous incarnation as a taxi driver it became mandatory to accept credit card payments a few years ago. Fine, all well and good etc, but who has to fund this? Why, the good old cabbie himself via equipment rental contracts, transaction fees, lost fares when payments fail and the passenger ‘doesn’t carry cash’. All I’m saying, really, is just give us the choice. |

I didn’t know Barrington Bandersnatch III played for QPR. This is the ‘Alternative Jobs’ thread, isn’t it? |
