I don't think I've seen any Comic Sans Criminality on the FGW network, although I'm pretty sure there must be something somewhere.

Screw that - its all typo snobbery

Would I send a CV in comic sans - hell no - because of bigots

Is it my preferred font - yes

I am dyslexic - its easy to read - I like it. Do I advertise I'm dyslexic - no. 

I HATE times roman - HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE

I use arial if I have to use a windows machine (its the default), helvetica on a mac (again default) and either of them for a professional doc - anything ele where I can choose - comic sans rules

I also use Arial if its a letter or CV.
or if its company related HelveticaNeue.

Can't stand Comic Sans MS. Bloody awful font. Anything written in it is amateurish as far as i'm concerned.

Not Comic Sans ... but still amateurish:

Any suggestions as to the FGW station at which this was displayed?

Well done, Louis94: yes, that poster was displayed to the right of the entrance to Weston-super-Mare.

Interestingly, it was a variation on the wording displayed at Bridgwater (http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=7965.0) - but they still got it wrong!  ::)
