| "Perhaps money could be saved by restricting the rail element of the Freedom Pass to those old biffers who were actually born in London..." Alan...You might like to consider a policy similar to that which was imposed in Brentford in the 1680s,for persons crossing the bridge over the Brent. "All Christian passengers were free of toll on passing this bridge but Jews and Jewesses were forced to pay a halfpenny if on foot or a penny if on horseback. Many centuries later the Jews offered to purchase the town (Brentford)with all it's rights and privileges of trade, from Lord Godolphin,but that statesman declined the offer."
