My Freedom Pass Failed South of the River

I’ve indicated before that London has always been two cities; my side of the North and the other side of the South.

Now I’ve got nothing against those who live south of the river and in fact some of my friends live there, but it’s a different country.  It’s nothing new, as my father said that the two sides didn’t agree on anything before the Second World War. I blame it on Arsenal’s move from south of the river to Highbury.  It was almost as bad as Wimbledon going to Milton Keynes.

But that still doesn’t explain, why my Freedom Pass wasn’t accepted at Elephant and Castle, either coming out or going in. However, in both cases, the helpful staff let me through.

Do the barriers read your DNA and if it’s from the North, you’re barred? We should be told!
