Was it the fairies again?
what's an oyster card?
With a name like FishCake, one can only assume that it's some kind of ID. Perhaps he was feeling a little shellfish that day.
The London Undergrounds are very crowded, you need an oyster card to mussel your way through the throngs.Quote:

Fares for non-Oyster card holders are going up yet again.
They can save you time, too; instead of queuing to buy a ticket and then putting your ticket through a machine that successfully reads it only 50% of the time, you can just slap your wallet down on a reader and the doors open as if by magic.
They really are quite cool. :thumb:
