Default Saver tickets

There is no expiry mraked anywhere on them.


Moreover, given that I have bought 144 of them, there is an implied condition
in my purchase contract that they will be valid for more than the few days
before the price increase, that they will be valid for a reasonable period
hereafter.


If the worst came to the worst, I would have a legal claim against T.F.L., the
newsagent (as their agents) and my credit card company (as the paying party,
who guarantee the purchase).


Jeeze, you Brits are turning into a bunch of antagonistic
litigation-happy grumblers. My Oystercard didn't arrive today, despite
being posted yesterday afternoon, so I thought I would buy a book of Saver
Tickets to cover the gap. My local newsagent (UB8 3SH) was perfectly
happy to sell them to me and pointed out a label on the pouch they were
stored in that said that the price was $4.20 until next week, when they
will go up to £4.80. Exactly the same tickets, just costing more, so
obviously they have the same validity whatever the purchase price.
