I wouldn't panic too much. If anyone has only got a black and white version and ends up going down to London with that, I would just say to pop to a photocopy shop and ask them to copy it to colour for you.

You’re right. It was a little mean and if I have confused or offended anyone in any way whatsoever I am truly




No. I just can’t do it

It's Greggs. When he starts threads you know what's coming pretty much. I get how new posters could be confused or duped though.

When you know him you immediately know it's a joke.

Maybe new people just need to spend more time on here.

Yes. And we can put stars by their names so we know that's they're new.

If anyone actually fell for this they deserve all they get (a nice 5 minute trip to a library to use a printer) How do people function in real life without actually using their brains?

Please let me know, anyone who wants me to laminate their tickets for them.

I have been on to a chap calling himself Lord of the turnstiles his hot take was if you can't get them printed in colour they will accept a tattooed ticket if it is on the left buttock. Of course that would need to be in colour.

There should be a freshers week on here for new members where they can learn which members are on the wind up or contrarians who would argue black is white and white is black, which brings me onto my point, how do I know which bits of my QR code should be printed black and which bits should be white

People who have multiple copies of the same ticket have to present them together or it's no entry.

Make sure your buttocks are thin enough to get in the scanners though. Happy to forward the rapid weight loss piss ads from my inbox for those going this route.

Yeah a QR code is normally black and white, and that’s the machine-read bit that gains you entry. Congratulations and all that.

But you don’t have a monopoly on brains, and people will justifiably have thought about stuff that never even occurred to you when posting this shit. Like whether there could be coloured elements elsewhere on the printed page as some kind of security check, making it easier to trace the origin of forgeries or duplicates, and making black and white prints unacceptable (I guess that's not the case, but it’s not ludicrous is it?) Or whether colour printers produce black in a different way to mono printers (they often do) and that it might affect the scanners (it shouldn’t). Or if they haven’t yet received their ticket, whether the QR codes are coloured (such things do exist, but the colours don’t matter).

Lots of people are still unfamiliar with stuff like this. It’s not a sign of their stupidity or inferiority, and definitely not a signal to you that it’s OK to take the piss on an occasion like this.

PS this doesn't even affect me.

To pillory Greggs for what was obviously a piss-take is an over-reaction. No-one who's been on this forum for more than five minutes expects anything else.

You're right of course, but the OP got me unaccountably wound up, and the subsequent cockiness even more so. Piss poor tbh.
