You could do as I do, and have a simple plastic card holder fixed to my
belt by a spring clip. I pull it out to tap on the Oyster reader and it
then winds back to my belt.


Not everyone wears a belt, and especially not every one of the fairer
sex.

I shouldn't have to keep it seperate in the first place. Thats my point.

So I do not need to fumble for my wallet in a crowded station or when
boarding a busy bus. Just pull out, touch and let go.


Not sure why you'd need to fumble for a wallet anyway - put hand in pocket,
extract wallet. How hard is that?

If you look on eBay you can find secure ones with wire rather than cord.


Thanks, I'll pass.

Talking of which, does anyone know when the last episode is going to be
broadcast?

The test of the goodness of a thing is its fitness for use. If it
fails on this first test, no amount of ornamentation or finish will
make it any better, it will only make it more expensive and foolish.

There was a legal dispute [1] which I understand has been resolved.
[snip details]


Thanks.

The story at the time was that it was cancelled to make way for
programming related to the mumbleteenth anniversary of
something-or-other, which I always found a bit hard to believe. You
generally know about mumbleteenth anniversaries a good while in advance!

Just like you'd think that BBC World would have enough notice of insert
name of appropriate country's election, to manage to make an official
change to their schedules in advance, to fit in a "results special".

But no!, They always end up cancelling the normal schedule "on the day"

Their trump card is when they change the schedule at the last minute but
don't bother to update the EPG so you find your box has either recorded only
part of the program you wanted to watch or none at all but instead you get an
hour of self important journos boring on about something no one within 2000
miles gives a toss about.
