Netflix's adaptation of The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman is following a time-honoured formula – but what's so appealing about 'cosy crime'?

still legal tender and I’m fed up of drivers constantly not having any change. Why can’t you ensure that they have enough change on them or is it now a crime to use cash. I have lost count how much of my change you have kept. Do something. 2/2.

Ugh! @ArrivaKent why is it so difficult for your drivers to have change. I got on the 10:31 #164 at Magpie Hall Road to Waterfront. Cost Β£2.70. Have the driver Β£3.00 no change at that time of the morning. Happy to pay for items over Β£5.00 by contactless but Β£2.70? Cash is 1/2.
