Please could you let me know where the nearest *competent* Oyster shop
is to Thornton Heath station whose equipment actually works? Last time
I asked TfL they couldn't tell me. The nearest shop, according to them,
was about ten minutes walk away, and their machine was broken.

No idea which ones are competent, but there are ten Oyster Ticket Stops
within less than 10 minutes walk:

Of those, I believe one no longer exists, two are in the wrong place on
the map, and one is one of those incredibly dodgy internet-cum-cheap-
phone-calls places that I would never want going anywhere near any of my
cards.

And none of them are visible from the station, so unless you know where
to go in advance, you're stuffed.
