Many years ago, before automated ticket gates, I was dashing through the ticket barrier at Victoria mainline to catch my train home.
I flashed my rail season ticket at the gate man, but he stopped me, and had a good look at it, then said OK go on...
I'd never had it examined before, so once on the train I had a good look to check it was all up to date etc, then realised I'd shown him my MOD pass!
As he let me through with that, I wonder where else I could have blagged using it!?
