Default Another Oyster Rip-off

On Sun, 08 Aug 2010 22:24:07 +0100 someone who may be Scott
wrote this:-

I'm not sure 'rip-off' is the correct term as a rip-off implies intent
to over-charge and I am sure TfL has no such intent.


Are you? Why?

It is very convenient for rip-off merchants to claim that they
didn't intend to rip people off, it was something beyond their
control. The Tony B Liar approach.

This sounds like a technical problem


Yea, yeah, yeah. The machines did it all on their own, nothing at
all to do with the way they were programmed by Boris and his
henchmen.
