So you're in New Cross/Deptford?
Oooh, perhaps I could rejoin Lewisham Library after all (I live just beyond the opposite border of Peckham but am in Lewisham every other week to go to the market...)
Sorry, off topic!

How does this card work?0

Are you sure that you usually have to pay for them? I live in London and have always been given them for free when I buy my buspass.
If you just get a pay as you go Oyster, then there is a £3 deposit normally.
For longer term bus passes/season tickets, there is no deposit just the cost of the pass.0 -
I didn't pay any deposit this time... I left london for 3 years but never got my £3 back from my first oyster (didn't care though). I came back to London 6 months ago but didn't pay anything for the card... use only pay as you go as I walk to work.
To my knowledge you can join any library as long as you have ID etc. (I'm assuming a library wouldn't let you join if you lived miles away as they will know that you not going to pop back in with the books!)Light bulb moment April 07: [strike]£3,655 [/strike] Oct 07: [strike]£2,220[/strike] now 0 - 3 years of Uni debt to be added at a later date

Has anyone actually received their Oyster card yet? I applied for it on the same day as I applied for my Family Railcard - that arrived but no sign of the Oyster card.0

Don't give up, i got my free oyster card yesterday.
So looks like they are on their way0 -
You can join a library close to where you work. Also increasingly you can take your books back to any library, possibly not nationwide but I can use any in Bristol or B&NESomerset AFAIK, possibly SGlos as well ... doesn't have to be the library I borrowed them from.To my knowledge you can join any library as long as you have ID etc. (I'm assuming a library wouldn't let you join if you lived miles away as they will know that you not going to pop back in with the books!)

Can I just add that library books can be returned to any library within your own county.[STRIKE]30:22[/STRIKE]

because the average man can see better than he can think.
Many people's view of the world is down to their experience, perception and what they have been conditioned to,this isnt any old MSE reply this is a important and experienced MSE reply :rotfl:0
