Nose. Spite. Face.

You Londoners just don't understand us provincials do you?

I've lived more of my life outside of London than in it, so don't
bother trying to play that snobbish card.

I live well outside London - but I still see the good sense of
having an Oystercard.

That's the point. It's mostly a Network South East issue.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Please explain.

I *do* live in the NSE area, but still find an Oystercard saves me
money.

Don't you get one day Travelcards for trips to London? Don't you have
a Network Card giving you discounts on all rail travel except on LU?

I have a Network Card, yes. But the only time it is ever worth me
getting a Travelcard from my home-town is between 8 and 10 on a weekday
*and* I intend to make more than a couple of journeys in the capital.
Otherwise SET PriceBuster + Oystercard is cheapest for me.
