I have a PAYG oyster card and if I log in to my tfl account there is an
option to register a contactless card. This makes me suspect that an
unknown contactless card will be ignored, though its proximity to a
registered card might result in card clash. The advantage of an Oyster
card is that you can keep it seperate from your money cards which also
means eagle-eyed pickpocketers don't see which pocket your wallet goes
back into.

Yesterday I was in London for the St Patricks day 'procession' which was
a joke, utterly forgettable. From Sussex, with my 60's railcard it cost
me £13.45 to travel 50 miles to and from LOndon and anywhere in zones
1-6, so just for the hell of it I went to the new T5 building to be
nosy. V Impressive steelwork frame and because it is only 10 mins walk
from the end of the runway it was easy to watch the incoming planes.

While walking up past 10 Downing st I noticed black 'donut' tyre marks
in the middle of the road, quite a distance from the cenotaph, outside
where the horses are usually sitting ducks for tourists. Today I heard
that Chris Evans was apologizing for 'desecrating a war grave'.
