    dzug, I think you have missed the point completely as to why I posted in the first place


    Quite possibly. What you reported seems a reasonable journalistic interpretation as journalistic interpretations go - but your reaction to it seems way OTT - not going to use Oyster ever again, going to travel everywhere by car, etc.

    well lets agree to disagree dzug, in relation to not using the Oyster, thats because I dont have faith in the system, i dont think its OTT at all. Once more however, this is another example of diversion, the subject is the rip off oyster card and not my reaction

    I hate TFL. Just thought I'd put it out there.

    Not because of oyster, but because of their bloody useless call centre.

    Might as well go an d speak to theman on the fish counter in Tesco - he will probably have more of an idea of what he is talkign about.

    I think you will find you are incorrect to say TFL have the right to deduct monies from a Oyster card without use. the conditions require you to "have a valid ticket for your journey"

    Surely there is more to life than worrying about something stirred up by the media which may or may not be correct.

    You hate the Oyster Card, so either pay your fares the old fashioned way or drive your car!

    Either way you will probably be worse off than if you suffered the (very) occasional overcharge because of service failings.

    Get a life, old boy.

    It is correct and i suspect i have been over charged. I dont recal saying i "hate" the oyster card. in regards to paying the fares or driving, i think i have answered that one already.

    Old boy, MMMMMMMMMMM you will find i am younger than you. Like I said before, dont understand you

    Today is the 10th working day TFL were meant to respond to me. i gave them a complaint/enquiry regarding the oyster card. I emailed them a stiff email demanding a reply. All those people who support TFL, explain why they do not respond to customer complaints within their own time scale, MMMMMMMMMMMM
