 Advice From Aunty Carol (editor's note - this agony advice column is genuine, unlike much on this site) Hello Aunty Carol If I can just add my four penn'orth to Mr Rayner's problem, a few weeks ago I found myself in a similar position. I was buying a train ticket which cost £1.10 and I handed over a pound coin and a 20p piece, to which the booking clerk responded by giving me a pound change. Thinking my luck was in I disappeared in the direction of the platform before she could say anything and caught my train. Later that day I was in Sainsburys in Keighley and as I came out, there were some people doing a charity balloon race for carers in Keighley. I put my pound in their tin and I'll either win £100 or have the satisfaction of knowing that I've taken a pound from the coffers of a penny-pinching train company and made somebody's life a bit more bearable. Think win-win. Ian Q Cragg Hi Ian! What's the problem then? To be honest, I had this awful thought just then, that the problem page inbox will soon become full of piss taking bastards telling me how much spare change they've found on the bus. I hope you haven't started something here!...Haha... I'd say you've come to a good solution there anyway. Unless you want to tell me who you'd like to split the £100 with, just in case... Carol
