Can i buy them the night before?

Last week I was sleeping in an area where I have to catch the bus
first to get to the tube. The man at the counter at Lewisham told me
that "you can buy only AFTER the 9:30 of the day you're travelling"
and, appearing to me a stupid rule, I insisted and lost a bet with my
son (now living in London) that gave reason to that guy...

Well that's clearly ballox! I bought one at 0915 one Monday morning at
Euston station. I was specifically asked if I minded waiting 15
minutes before using it, which, seeing as I wanted the Met anyway, was
of course no big deal.
