And my recollection is that you did say in the past that you got the
Oyster bods to refund it to your bank account (though I'd be
interested in whether that was via a debit card refund or as a direct
payment into your bank account having given them the details - I'd
assume the former).

They can now do BACS (if you ask nicely and your Oyster record confirms
pick-up at a pad is impracticable).
