The oyster card discount, as against the cash price, was always the oyster card's selling point. If you get rid of cash payments, it will just be an incentive for the oyster price to be hiked up.

I'm posting this from France. I have spent a week in the Dordogne sampling the delights of the local cuisine, none finer than three lobe foie gras. I was slightly concerned at the potential cruelty aspect of this dish but having today been to a foie gras farm, I can confirm that the geese willingly waddle up to their feeder and seem at least to enjoy the experience. I've convinced myself it is as ethical as any meat product can be. My query is whether anyone can confirm a good Dulwich supplier of this delicious product, or do I need to risk a fee on my baggage allowance cramming packets in to the spare corners of my suitcase?

I'm a regular cyclist into the city. I've never had a problem either on the road or the pavement. Plainly you shouldn't cycle on the pavement except where it is safe to do so. I think most people can judge when that is appropriate.
