I must say, it's nice to see unanimity from the utl regulars on the
subject of Jenkins being a cock on this. It is apparently a sound working
principle that the only people allowed to comment on public transport in
the Evening Standard are those manifestly unqualified to do so.


He was the headline speaker one year at the Institute of Tourist Guiding's
AGM.

He spoke total drivel about a subject he'd not grasped and failed to
understand, let alone answer, a question put to him pointing out the hole
in his argument.

Discuss! :-)

If he can find people stupid enough to pay him to talk/write rubbish, you
have to admire him, and feel jealous!


Not my decision!! Mind you, I do know who else was considered and SJ
was less controversial at the time....... :-)
