paid his fare?

A TEENAGER bundled off a train by another passenger because he apparently did not have a ticket has insisted he had paid his fare.
A video of a passenger, dubbed Big Man, muscling the youth off the train has become an internet hit, with more than a million people viewing it on YouTube.
The Big Man has been named locally as Alan Pollock, a performance manager for a finance firm, who is from Stirling.
British Transport Police said they have received a complaint of assault and are now investigating.
Today, the man thrown off the train, 19-year-old Sam Main, a student at Edinburgh’s Heriot-Watt University, defended himself, claiming he had paid.
He said: “In the morning I got a ticket from Polmont to Edinburgh Park. The guy sold me two singles but they were both for Polmont to Edinburgh. I didn’t realise until later but I thought I’d be able to explain what happened to the conductor on the train.
“I’m diabetic and hadn’t eaten all day so I was just desperate to get home. I wasn’t given a chance to explain the ticket situation.”
Mr Main, from Falkirk, added: “I did have money to buy another ticket but I wasn’t given the option.”
At Mr Pollock’s house in Stirling, his wife said he did not wish to comment.

that's probably why he left it to the passengers to sort out.
(But it flees in the meantime: irretrievable time flies)



There are 10 types of people in the world; those who understand binary and those who don't..
