We had our own equivalent valid on trains and buses in West Yorkshire called "SaverStrip", with an accompanying annoying TV advert featuring the sound "Ker Ching".
Travelling to and from school, we 'ker chinged" very gently with the aim to get 13 or 14 journeys our of a 12 journey strip.

Site agents that talk at you like you're thick, (I am, but he doesn't know that!) And when they're younger than you, that's really irks, cos yeah, he might be more cleverer than me but there's a manner in which you speak to people in real life isn't there? Oh well, at least I might end up on some guy-kills-site-manager podcast
