Never mind that...

....when the hell are the lines that feed London going to support Oyster?! Sick and tired of having to replace my yearly gold-card ticket every 2-3 months when the underground barriers chew it up, that's when they will actually accept it. Not forgetting the looks of derision I get from ticket inspectors who can barely read the smudged print on my gold-card ticket and think I'm pulling some sort of scam, meanwhile they ignore the gits who walk up the train and jump off at the next stop to avoid getting caught!!

Gladly replace my gold-card for one of these software coded doohickeys, software copy of the ticket stored at home as a backup in case I lose the phone? Sorted!
