PUBLIC TRANSPORT

While buying our train tickets to London, 'beloved tutor' was struck by the strange fact that a single ticket cost only 10 pence less than a return ticket. To which I had no explanation. However, I think one of the possible reasons came when the inspector checked our tickets and punched them with his little heart-shaped puncher! There was probably a smiley-faced one too. Really, couldn’t they either re-think the cost of tickets or invest the money more wisely!
