I don't think it's been forgotten at all. I mean, as soon as you mentioned it I knew it must have been 40 years. I think I was playing cricket that night and I got back to my friends house to be told what had happened. I saw the last part of the match. The players didn't want to be there...
Or just jumped the train. It's nothing new. Let those who have never, ever, dodged a fare cast the first stone.
The funniest story I have is of a relation of mine. 4 years and over had a fare levied on them. A bus driver asked her how old she was when she got on the bus. 'I'm 3 when I get on...
I'm no sure at which point I said it was okay, especially given that I said 'he may well have a point'.

And if we had a rule where no-one was allowed to respond to the thread if they had, ever, ever, dodged a fare then we may be a bit short of replies.
Not suggesting it isn't an issue, but Robert Jenrick being the messenger kind of makes it lose its meaning.
Still, I'm guessing he has started...
I think the wider point was that he approved those building works to the detriment of the taxpayer and to a Tory Party donor. I remember it at the time. Utter crook.
So, yes, he may have a point. But I'm not sure that folk are well disposed to taking moral guidance from him.
EDIT: Looking...
20 over cricket is a strange animal. It's pretty easy to predict at the start of the tournament who isn't going to win, but impossible to say who is most likely.
This is the issue. Albion were involved in a bruising match at Middlesbrough whilst Massive were able to rest players. So an unfair advantage. Sunderland seemed to be resting for weeks.
I like the National League format.
What with Chelsea having spent so little on their squad in the last three years, you can't help but be enthused by the joy of winning the Conference League. I thought the commentators could have been more complimentary.
