[Varche]

I find that living in a foreign country your life is filled with stunts. Like registering your car, stopping your house being demolished as it was built illegally, finding somehwere that sells hand tools easily obtainable in Halfords etc etc. Nothing is easy or straightforward.

I have just had a look at the bank balance and found that Carrefour in France have stolen 100 euros from me. We actually filled up at Rouen (86 euros which has also gone out). I am worried on two counts. One my card might have been cloned and 2 just how to go about getting the 100 euros back. I will find an Carrefour EMail address and cut and paste the Spanish bank transaction info.

As ever my expectations of success are low to poor.

Damned unattended petrol stations. It won't be long before you turn up for petrol and stick your bank card in the machine and it says "Sorry Mr Varche (*insert your own name here) your gas guzzler has used your allowance for the month already, please come back next month"

Sorry to hear of you difficulty V.

The final part of your statement is not as outlandish as many would think.

The same may also apply to other forms of energy.
