Timely reminder for #melbourne and #victorians - even if you tap on with #myki, you can be kind to people who can't afford/don't use it, by taking a long time to find your myki with an inspector asks. Forget which pocket, can't find your wallet in your bag etc. Just keep faffing and delaying. Give other people a chance to move away or get off at the next stop.

It was only in the 20th century that it understood that the wallpaper gave off a gas.
