Maybe - but I can be an evil, awkward beggar when not at work :-)

Even at my maturing age I believe that most people - both public and
private sector - are trying to do a good job. However, in my many years in
IT I saw too many pople who are keen to "e" everything in sight not
bothering to think the job through and, consequently, implementing
inadequate systems. And, of course, being "too busy" is not a reason for
breaching the DPA or any other statute.
There's a pensioner couple only a few miles from here that have had all
sorts of trouble with TfL over an incident such as this where they had been
nowhere near London. If my snipe at TfL gets them to take stock for 5
minutes maybe it will be worth it.
