For some of us, some kind of mugging applies to 100% of journeys,
because it happens first time and you don't go back.
You have a very low pain threshold! But like I said the other day, the
same attitude applies to many one-time/never-again users of our trains.
I'm dreading being crammed into the 19.15 from St Pancras tonight[1]. No
doubt the crew will be as cheerful as ever when they meet people with
something slightly wrong with their ticket, and might even get the
buffet going by the time we get to Luton (last week they couldn't get
the till open).
[1] It connects with my E*, I'm not trying to save money by travelling
on the first off-peak train.
