Default More London ticket fun

For those who remember my fun with TFL/Tramlink and my Oyster before
Christmas, I had more fun yesterday.

The Oyster issue got sorted, but again Yesterday I came up by Travelcard.
This was a "Super-Off-Peak" travelcard, thus I can't come home between 4
and 7pm, which is OK, since I didn't plan to.

What I didn't expect is to be told by an inspector that I couldn't travel,
even within London, on any SWT service between those hours, on the
Travelcard I had.

So I checked the conditions, and, yet again, the staff twonk was wrong.

The ticket barrier let me in, the guard listened to my position and
agreed, so why are there so many untrained wannabees trying to make the
customer's life hard.

And when I came back from Brentford later, I did it by bus to South
Ealing, and then a tube to the West End.
