Oyster watch
It’s been reported recently in the press that city ‘Wide Boys’ have been making their own ‘oyster watches’. What exactly is the problem? It was stated back in January that this type of product was going to be available. However, TFL have now decided that it wants to keep its invention for staff only. That strikes this Digital Lush as a little unfair!
Personally, I can’t think of a more convenient way of carrying your oyster card. As a member of the ‘bottomless handbag’ brigade, my oyster card seems to disappear every time I put it in my bag resulting in me being one of ‘those’ people who stop and faff at the barriers. For me though a watch is not necessary. I think a nice discreet bangle would be better. Or maybe a whole range of oyster-themed jewellery could be introduced. I can see it now – necklaces, rings, even ankle bracelets – It would certainly make commuting more visually entertaining for the boys (and some of the girls!).
Anyway, I think TFL should get over itself. At the end of the day, these people are fully paid up commuters. Maybe they should actually spend this time chasing the fare dodgers and the members of the ‘I thought I could use my oyster card’ club. And as for the tourists… don’t even get me started!

I heard that one clever hacker has extracted his Oyster Card chip and embedded it into a magic wand.
