    I carry a spare carrier bag in my bag so that i can load all the 'read' papers in there that i grab from the train (I am on the last stop) so I wait and walk through the carriage picking up the discarded papers (s)
    And of course you are being helpful to the train company/fellow passengers by picking up their rubbish.

    Thanks for this. Do you know if the two for one tickets are available for any of the films in the season, or just for Ryan's Daughter?

    I'm not sure. It says selected films. including A Passage to India and Dr Zhivago. You would probably have to call them to find out more.

    Then I go to a corner and rip out all the MOC, then go to where the Metro news paper stand in the tube station and grab more from the top of the pile that have been 'read' or discarded

    Do you go to a Tesco in London? If so, which one? I've never found one that takes them!
