So off I went down the escalators to board the Piccadilly line train to Covent Garden
On reaching the barrier at Covent Garden I hold my breathe as I feed my ticket into the mouth of the barrier and............
'I don't f****** believe it!
Talk about 'Groundhog Day!"
I'm sorry to bother you....... My ticket's not workin"
"You'll need to get another one"
And once again I proceed to tell him......
"Only got it reissued this morning and it's not working already"
No smile this time as he let's me through with a blank expression on his face
