I know the Standard is not the most reliable organ out there, but
surely no one can be this wilfully stupid and the Standard just made
her up because they themselves were too lazy to think of a proper
example? Or are people really this thick? And, in any case, surely
they sell Oyster cards at the DLR ticket windows at Lewisham?

I remember a few months ago, a Standard reporter wrote something like :
"do you know anybody who actually uses these Oyster cards?" - it made
me laugh but in a very resigned way...
