  1. If its too good to be true - It usually is. Oyster Card - [problem].
  2. One last post before i hush as i got to start some uni work in a bit. I was searching google for 'unstarted' charges and found this: > Touching out and touching straight back in at the same station doesn't > necessarily end and restart a new journey, and there are logical reasons for > this. Once a journey that has been joined to another goes beyond the time > limit (and that limit is variable dependent on zones crossed) the first part > of the journey becomes 'uncompleted' and the latter part 'unstarted'. This > is charged as two 'maximum cash fares' and doesn't contribute to the daily > cap. So would it not make more sense to only combine them if the combined journey is within the time limit for the overall journey and keep them as separate journeys[1] if the combined journey would be over the time limit. Also, always treat it as 2 separate journeys rather than combining them where someone touches in at A, touches out at B, then later touches in again at B travels to A and touches out. [1] As long as the time between between each touch in and the next touch out is within the time limit. -------------------------------------- I think this could explain both my journeys, but dont quite understand what they mean by 'new journeys' etc, can anyone desribe it in more basic terminology? What do they mean by time limits etc? Sorry. Thx.
  3. Hi, i've found the receipt for my second journey! (joy!!) I started my journey from bounds green at 11:43, i arrived back at wood green at 1:17 and it doesnt say "incomplete journey" it says "unstarted" with a charge of £4.30.
  4. So they actually track certain Oyster cards? Wow, you learn something new everyday.
  5. Not sure which one you mean but if you mean my first journey i forgot to mention, that i did touch in (after touching out) at Kings cross when going back to BOUNDS Green. What i did was I made the phone call which was no longer than 5 -10 mins then went back and touched in at kings cross and went back to bounds green. Is there a certain time limit from where you touch out and are allowed to touch back in again at the station? If your talking about my second journey, i touched in at bounds green, waited (underground) at kings cross, mate never arrived, so traveled back to wood green and touched out there, knowing that i couldnt touch back out at bounds green. Hope that makes it more clear.
  6. Hi guys, hoping someone can help me out here, cant remember the exact details of the problem (as in time etc) but i think i have it pretty much spot on. I started my journey at Bounds Green in the morning (peak time) on my way to university. I had a presentation at Uni with a mate and we decided to meet up at Kings Cross station (underground). So there was me looking like a mug waiting for him underground for about an hour or so, so i would say i was underground for more or less and hour and 20 mins, i touched out at Kings cross (knowing that if you stay underground for more than 2 hours youll get charged) So i gave him a call no answer (underground?) phoned his house, mum picks up says he left, i go back underground where we were suppose to meet and wait for him for another good 40-60 mins or so? He doesnt show up so i head back to Bounds Green and head back home. When i touch out at Bounds green i get charged for an incomplete journey, why? i was not underground for more than two hours OR touched in and out at the same station, so why was i charged? This has happend to me once before about 5 or 6 months ago, where again i touched in at Bounds green, waited again for him again at Kings cross (lol he normally turns up just incase your all wondering), he never turned up, wasnt underground for 2 hours and i go back and touch out at wood green and then get charged for an incomplete journey. (has this one anything to do with the fact that the two stations i next to eachother? the guy at the counter tried to explain it to me, though he was not fluent in english and i never quite understood his explanation) Hope all that made sense. Please can someone try and explain to me why on these two occasions i got charged?
  7. Ok ,again, cheers for the help. I guess I'm going to start looking for a non payed job in journalism just to get some experience, might as well start at the very bottom. Council tax is the tax my parents will have to pay btw.
  8. Well i went to the interview today, and what i thought would happen, happened. They started pushing me, is the journalism job you seek realistic? Should you not start to think of another career path? etc etc. They will eventually force me into a career i don't want, i dont want to be on job seekers allowance but i have to be, otherwise my parents will have to pay taxes which they cant afford. Anyone know of any way i could get into journalism? All i care about is to right about sport, i can't think of anything else i would rather do. Anyways cheers for all the advice you all have gave me, appreciate it.
  9. Again, thx for the help, i have already decided to go to the interview, as i said before i feel the interview will do me good, as i do need the help, i've also already set up a interview with my former uni tutor who has said he'll help me out too. I just want to know if i can sign off JSA for a month, and are there any reasons i could give apart from saying i got a job. Could i just sign off without a reason? would they let me back on in a month?
  10. Thx for the advice mate. The thing is, i wouldn't be on job seekers allowance if either of my parents worked, but as they don't work, they would have to pay 40 pound a month taxes if i wasn't on job seekers allowance, so i'm a bit stuck, i have to sign on. I do want a job, but just not really ready for one just yet. So what i was wondering was that, if i told them i had a part time job for a month (just so they think i am searching at the mo) and then went back to signing on after that month, would they follow up and want to know where i worked? I am actually considering going to the interview first, just so i can get some advice on job seeking for when i am ready. Again thx for all the help, very much appreciated.
  11. Hi all. Great forum Just have a question regarding jobseekers allowance. I have been signing on for a couple of months now since i finished uni, but now they have already asked for an interview, i feel their going to start pushing real soon. Now, i do want a job, dont get me wrong, i hope people dont come on here and start saying im cheating the system or anything cause i really am not, i just need a bit of time as i have a few issues at the moment i that i need to get over. Well what i want to ask is, so that they stop pushing is their any reason i can give them so that i can get off jsa for a month? is it possible to tell them i found a part time job for a month or will they follow that up and find im lying to them? I am not going to say anything about my issues, i just need a bit of help with this please, is there any way possible of telling them that i found a job for a month and them not following it up/finding out about it? Plz, all comments welcomed. Thx in advance. J.
