TORY Mayor Boris Johnson's excuses are a complete joke. If he can’t even stick to the simple schedule set out for sorting out the Oyster card farce on the Chingford to Liverpool Street line what hope do we have for organising the Olympics?

Despite Boris announcing that Oyster cards will be able to be used by November at the latest it now looks like there will be yet more delays.

It really can’t be that difficult to sort out. The machines have been installed, they just need activating along with Mr Johnson's grey matter.

Meanwhile, I am stuck in the dark ages having to mess around with two different payment methods rather than just being able to use an Oyster card like everyone else.

I’m sick of being fobbed off or having to put up with Boris’s blunders.

If I displayed the same incompetence in my job I would be told to not turn up for work and that my P45 was in the post. It’s blatantly one rule for Boris and another for the rest of us.
