.......just tried to buy one of these things online, after it took me HALF AN HOUR to renew my season at a station, on a SUNDAY TEATIME !!- but the page is out of action for 'service'.
Such refreshing inefficiency- just like a real Tube station.........nice to know some things will never change.

It's like a musselcard, but harder to get in to.
But not at all like a clamcard, which gets you into brothels.........after which you probably need to get a crabcard.

Ok, so I,m guessing it,s a bus pass for the shellfish community, why didn,t you say that, you always have to make things difficult! did you get the crate of Moet I sent you?

Yes, it's part of Ken's Mollusc Inclusiveness Initiative. They don't half stink up the buses when it's hot, though......
The Moet was from you?
Then the four-pack of Guinness must have been from Liz Hurley. The stuck-up tight-fisted cow..............

A hint of the sinister? I hear they're used to track/record the user's movements, possibly - but for what reason(s)?
