I was told told to buy Dailies and 2 
hour tickets, as I could get a ticket
 as a refund.  I just bought another 
Monthly and ststed quite clearly in 
the letter attched to the refund form
 that I had bought another monthly 
ticket and when I get a refund would 
not be able to use it straight away 
as it would be Easter.  But by the 
looks of things it will be Christmas
 by the time I get a refund.  That 
is why I no longer validate my ticket.
  A few times at Museum they have 
told me off and I just said "I am 
not validating my ticket, until I 
get a refund for the last one I lost"
  After all it has the type and date 
printed on the ticket.
