AGAIN we have Councillor Ann Reid beaming at us from the The Press, this time championing the case for free bus travel.

Being in possession of better travel facilities than that, I opt for travel tokens.

Interesting to note, through all her pontification, there is no mention of the £20 that we pensioners have lost over the past two years due to the council reducing the value of the tokens issued from £50 to £40, in order to save money!
