Default Boris - remove this absurd Oyster vs cash cost disparity

Some places make it near impossible for tourists to buy the normal ticket
without the discounts for museums they don't want to visit - Budapest was
one, where they claim it is impossible to buy the day ticket at the
airport.

So you find yourself staggering into an dull exhibition twenty minutes
before it shuts, with an "I'm damned well going to get my money's worth
out of this blasted ticket" expression.

Good cuisine in Budapest, however.


We were too busy scoring otherwise empty photography museums at 18:40 to
notice the grub :-)

ISTR the railway museum wasn't included in the ticket (BICBW), which is
the one we actually wanted!
