Yesterday, I set and used an OEP for the first time.

I still feel kind of dirty. No one could have known, but I felt as if
they were all looking at me.

Just don't set it then forget about it, because if you're off to that
mystery land yonder zone 6 armed with a Travelcard plus Boundary Zone
extension, as well as the potential for a battle with the likes of the
bearded red-coated ones you'll also find yourself down a PAYG 'entry fee' on
your credit.

Still, I'd like to have that confrontation with some SWT RPIs over my
missing OEP when the facility to obtain an OEP is helpfully unavailable from
SWT stations, but I rather suspect it's never going to happen!

Well, perhaps on principle I wouldn't set one on the grounds that they
are silly, but I had to go to the machine to check my credit anyway,
so it only took a few more seconds to set.

An observation: the NR barriers at London Bridge (within the
travelcard zones) normally display nothing on entry if there's a
travelcard on it, or maybe warn if it's close to expiring, but the OEP
triggers them to display the PAYG balance.
