Just tell him what he wants to hear.

Yes, TfL hates the London Borough of Bromley and all those who reside
in it. Livingstone has had it in for you since your councillors managed
to block the Fares Fair initiative of the early 80's. He wants Bromley
to go back to the dark ages and is planning on hearding all residents
into the Chiselhurst caves to see how they get on.

Meanwhile the Borough of Bromley will be ceded from Greater London and
subsumed as part of Kent. Any Bromley residents that make it out of the
caves can look forward to the enlightened world of deregulated buses
that Kent currently enjoys, with all the incompatible ticketing, lack
of bus stop information and lack of night buses (amongst many other
things) that such a move will entail.

Enjoy!
