Your lack of understanding is getting tiresome.

Your anti-Oyster moaning got tiresome a longtime ago.

Your refusal to understand the position of people who can't use Oyster
like you is what is really tiresome. People living outside the zones
can't do what you do.

What, specifically, can they not do? There are no rules preventing
people living outside the zones from having Oysters. I lost track of
your argument a long time ago, as I can't see what your point is.

The situation is very simple. Either

(a) They live outside the zones, and never buy Tube-only singles. They
are not affected by the fare increases. No problem

(b) They live outside the zones, yet occasionally buy Tube-only
singles. Then they can get a pre-pay Oyster instead for a £3 deposit,
which pays for itself after 2 journeys.
