A Nice Crisp Fiver

ANYONE travelling around Reading this weekend has been urged to use public transport. Some 80,000 people are expected at this year’s rock festival and the council is gearing up for some huge profiteering at festival goers' expense.

Reading’s mathematically challenged lead councillor for transport Tom Crisp said: “Last year we fleeced festival goers of thousands of pounds and this year we'd like to rip-off locals as well by urging them to use public transport. With a fare costing £1.50 each to get to the festival site and a full black cab costing less than a fiver, we hope that people don't work it out for themselves and save £2.50 by getting a taxi instead of paying our over-inflated bus fares."
