On the Tube, zone 1 journeys are UKP1.80 at any time, zone 1&2

No, I got it. I think what was making me resist was seeing just how
high these fares are! But nearly everything's expensive in London.
Just wait till the £ has fallen further, and London may start to look
better value...

All those Noo Yorkers who were complaining about the invasion of flush
Brits invading their city a few years ago can now have their revenge!

(In retrospect I really didn't take advantage of the strong pound as
much as I should have, in particular w.r.t. visiting North America. Oh
well, give it thirty years or so...!)

I remember when the GBP was at $2.50. Holy Moley. (then again, you could
go one stop on the UG for 5p!!!) Thanks for all the Oyster explanations.

The other thing about NY vs London, though, is that you can always find
a bargain here. Sales on all kinds of merchandise are always on.
