It seems that now LU have decided that you can't just put a random amount
of journeys onto the Oystercard that replaced your travelcard. I wanted to
just add 3 days onto it instead of a week but the ticket bloke said that
they'd been told not to do this by LU and he'd got into trouble for doing it
for someone else.

So someone please tell me , apart from being able to go through the gates
ever so slightly quicker , what use are these things exactly?

(There was me thinking they'd be more flexible than paper tickets , duh! I
should've factored LU management into the equation.)
