There are some queues, but buying an Oyster from a machine is simplicity
itself. Even you could manage it.

Simpler than asking someone for an Oyster? Short of the machine being psychic
and knowing what you want as soon as you get there I doubt it.

There was talk, earlier, of tourists. Non-English speakers will find a
machine less daunting than a grumpy Tfl employee.

Possibly. But they'll still take far longer to figure out how to use it than
just asking the grumpy sod behind the counter for a ticket in broken english.
