Sh*it didn't know you get fined I have an oyster pay as you top up only, use it for meetings up town but sometimes I'm a few quid under then top up and all good?
How or why do they fine you I thought you just pay whats negative on the balance? 
I know if you don't beep out you get fined for that fair enough!
I swiped in and saw 6.40 in credit, thought that will get me up to Holborn but I will need a ticket back.
I tried to buy a 1/4 TC at the station but it would not accept my card, no bother do it on the way back.
Oh how I wish the ticket machine worked....
They said i had only 40p on my oyster, but i argued that it normally goes -£5 before it lets you out.
he said that you only had 40p at the start so you could not have bought any fare. ok fair enough but why did it show £6.40?
He said this happen all the time with oysters, and that tickets are far more reliable
Cards and phones can affect how it reads your oyster and could have interfered with it, and that it needs to be in a thin wallet on its own
I said let me pay up at the excess fare machine as I am decent sort of guy and did not make a habit of this.......sorry sir no exceptions
And then the Grill, damn pikeys
