Glad I'm not alone.


There will always be people who don't have Oyster cards and it's far better to encourage pre-payment and reduce driver transactions in respect of fares, of only for speed and the reduction of driver stress. I also can't see that operating these would be any more expensive than similar parking charge machines and cost also has to be weighed against benefit.

The Ticket Machines are a pain.


I have missed buses trying to run fot a bus then trying to buy a ticket only to see the bus drive off.


If you buy one in advance, they expire after 1 hour.


The machines do not give change.


They often swallow your money and give no ticket


The are a real pain.

Totally agree DulwichFox. Always found it completely ridiculous that you had to have the exact change. Hardly saw anyone using them. When you got on the bus and realised you had no money on your oyster then you'ld get thrown off to use the machine and miss the bus even though you had the money there and then!

    • Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead. However, most of the weeds which have been (apparently)  killed in this way are hardly likely to lift pavements, being things like Shepherd's Purse. They might seed around, but I'm not sure what harm that does. I would like to know exactly what is the remit of the council workers who are tasked with dealing with weeds in pavements (and in tree pits?). Things like dandelions which have taproots (but are hard to remove in one piece)  have been left in the pavement,  whereas things like Toadflax (which don't, and are easy to just pull out) have been removed.
    • Yet another recommendation for Casper the  handyman.   He recently completed some odd jobs around our house including installing curtain rails and hanging pictures.  He offered practical solutions to the issues that arose, was efficient and communicative.  Very reasonable rates. We’ll be using his services again and have recommended to family & friends. 
    • Tom is a legend, even though he supports Arsenal..
    • The seller hasn't been named on here, and it isn't clear that it was a genuine misunderstanding, given the contents of the OP. Maybe it should be left as a warning to others to try things out before you take them home. Or indeed before you sell them. If  something seems wrong, it probably is. It shouldn't have taken a public post to resolve things . Also, if the laptop actually belongs to a company, it wasn't the seller's to sell, regardless of how he obtained it.
