Rules on banking by big brother have become a joke, seems they question everything, I tried to pay over £1000 into the bank and got the 3rd degree where I got it from.
£1000? In cash? You're a shady bastard you are Skruntie  ;D

£1000..I wouldn't know what that looks like. :(

Maybe not after buying 2 new chariots  ::)

I wasn't complaining about anything. You copped the hump because PP deemed a transaction suspicious. Which was a fair assessment for a business regulated by the FCA. As TB suggested.

Used my card twice this morning, usual Thurs shop for fuel and food. Rang motor factors to pay my a/c and card declined over the phone , managed to talk to the AI on banking and got no where apart from you need to enter pin number to unblock card as its been used to many times (no it hasnt) so walked to chemist as I needed to pick up prescription and a few bits. Used card with pin okay, still not working over phone but maybe it takes a while to work through system? Anyway pissed me off, also rushed out this morning and forgot to take the clothes I bought online from M&S that turned up with security tag still on. Will have to wait till next week now as not wasting 1/2 a day to go to town and get it done.

Is that because your transactions are never that low?  ;)

………

Have you tried a powerful magnet?  Put it on the opposite side to the pin and the two bits should pop apart. The two forks trick works on some but exerts pressure, and you don’t want to find out too late that it’s ink filled.  ::)
The magnet method is worth a punt to save you going back to the shop.

I haven’t always been an upstanding pillar of the community you know.  ;D  I blame the school I went to.

No worries, plod won’t bother turning up if the crime value is under £200 so it’s a bold as brass job.  ::)

Enterprise again.

Not only did they have the audacity to deliver a Nissan Puke, they left it with no fuel.  It’s supposed to b delivered full and I ensure it’s full when collected.  Whilst they always verbally tell me to return it with the same, I always get a fuel surcharge unless it’s brimmed. Great scam they have going.

Same here.

My senior school was well known for being as hard as nails.

Any kid who still had both ears was considered a fairy. :-X

Both.....although they were often slapped with a heavy book by the teacher(s) ;D

One of our teachers, known as 'dandruff billy', beat a kid so badly he disappeared for six months and when he returned he was no longer allowed use of the cane or slipper.

Golden years. :y

I spent a lot of time winding up a young French teacher, just because I hated French (even when I was 13  ;D) so it helped pass the time in his tedious lessons.
One day he snapped and gave me a proper hiding. I ended up curled up in a ball on the floor while he kicked the crap out of me, while the rest of the class laughed and cheered.  ;D
Didnt complain afterwards, because I knew it served me right for driving him to breaking point.
These days he would be banned from teaching and I could buy a house with the compo.

Until just under a year ago I had never been on regular Meds in my life.
Then I got put on two blood pressure tablets a day.
Then a third BP tablet was added.
A couple of weeks ago I was put on tablets to shrink the Prostate.
Today the GP called to say he wants me to go on Statins.
Five fickin tablets a day !  :o
Im starting to wonder if its all really necessary.  :-\

Yep...there were plenty of sadistic teachers back in the day. :-X

I had one take my head in both hands before smacking it against the desk causing my nose to bleed. I was 8 years old and had refused to do lines he had set me for 'talking without permission'

Even at 8 I refused to cry.

Mr Evans was his name and a more sadistic bastard would be hard to find.

I do hope he is still burning in hell as I write this. >:D :D
