Today's Springsteen quote is indeed very Spinal Tap, but a headline on Dutch Ceefax today is equally old fashioned rock 'n roll custom: "Metal band trashes hotel room", about a Norwegian band causing 5000 euros worth of damage to a Dutch hotel room. Nothing new, of course, but the Dutch Ceefax service presented it as its main headline today, as if these things had never happened before.

I know my math skills aren't quite what they used to be, but I'm pretty certain that if the total is 1.1% and we know that 40% of the fares decrease by 0.4%, that means that the remaining 60% went up by 2.1%. So did we really need Atoc to tell us that in the first place?
