I've been thinking abot the Oyster card. I can see some of the major

I don't know what you mean by dumbelling

Buying a season ticket for the first two stations and the last two stations
of your journey and not buying a ticket for the middle bit.


Thank god for that. I had dumbelling as being legal, fetishist, wet and
not very nice (well not to my taste).
