Default Ticket Check on the 19

I have an Oyster Pre Pay for occasional trips but still buy paper
Travelcards when I'm making intensive trips.

One such occasion was last Tuesday. Now for simplicity I keep the
paper Travelcard for the day in the "clear" half of the Oyster wallet.
Well, while riding on the 19, the conductress came I, I removed my
ticket for inspection and she saw the Oyster card in the wallet. She
said that I had to touch the Oystercard on her reader. I obviously
explained that I wasn't using it and that I had a one Day Travelcard.
Would you believe, she still tried to insist that I would have to touch
the reader?!

Naturally I refused but she seemed incapable of understanding that there
was not relationship between the ODTC and the Oyster. Eventually she
simply scowled and left me to it!

Oh well!
