Saw Bexley pensioners' group on ITV tonight re London 2012. Would wish to

point out that it costs my husband and I more than £20 every journey into

London - which, as pensioners, we don't do very often. If we are still alive

in 2012, no doubt we will, by then, have to pay more. In Athens 2004 we got

a subway pass for a week for 10 euros: can't see that happening here in

2012. Something they may wish to consider. Our grandchildren, from Sussex,

will be paying far more than that if they want to come to The Games. We

think this is something they may not have considered. We have relatives in

London Boroughs who get free travel but although we are close to London, we

get no concessions.
