Free Oyster card holders

Hi all

Was making my usual Tube journey to work this morning and a nice bobby handed me a free Oyster card holder :D

Presumably they're doing this at a few stations across the network, so keep your eyes peeled. I was quite pleased as I always miss out on these things!

    A fool may give advice but the one who takes it is the bigger fool.

    True. This wasn't a standard issue one though, it was part of their Zip-It promotion.

    I guess so, but the card holder was advertising their anti-pickpocketing campaign...
