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! :-)

And he was on Radio 4 at lunchtime pontificating about tourists visiting
the
Antarctic. Are there no limits to this man's knowledge?

Bearing in mind that Max didn't strip my signature from the posting there,
can I just clarify that "he" meant Simon Jenkins, not me and that I was
nowhere near Radio 4 at lunchtime! (Although I had a cameo on "Midlands
today" last week, being quoted somewhat out of context.)

You should have accepted the kudos! Clearly you are not pontificating
material!
