The Family Travelcard, Tube Carnet, Single zone Travelcard seasons and
some New Deal tickets are being withdrawn. But a less obvious
disappearance is Oyster Prepay. It's now referred to as 'pay as you
go'!


That's crazy! It's not pay as you go, it's pay *before* you go.


Isn't that how pay-as-you-go Mobile Phone's work then?


Exactly. 'Pay as you go' has ceased to be a descriptive phrase, and is
now, thanks to mobile phones, an atomic symbol - a single word with spaces
in, essentially - which means 'you put credit on it ahead of time and then
spend that credit as you go'. I wouldn't be surprised if key-operated
electricity meters started being called pay-as-you-go as well.
