The cashline card and the Co-op

I have found out what happened at last!!!

Remember the story about the cashline card and the Co-op? Well, it turns out that some chancers have been trying to pinch my money, accessing it via the cashline card and because of that The Royal Bank of Scotland had, quite rightly, stopped my card. The annoying bit is that they had, quite correctly, done that - but, and a big but too - the information about it had not reached me at that point in time so I tried to buy food using a piece of plastic that was nothing more than that - a piece of plastic.

It's all sorted now though, the new card is on its way here and I'm aware what has all been happening. Well done RBS!!!

But now I can't pay for the grub - can I come around to yours for dinner please?

Thieves

Last night, in Edinburgh, I had my jacket stolen and in the pocket was my mobile phone. I had gone to meet two or three guys that I hadn't seen for oh, ten years. We've been friends for thirty-odd years and a good time was had by all - and then I realised that my jacket etc was gone.

It was ten degrees under so it was a chilly trip home. I will buy myself a jacket and call it a Christmas present. Then I'll buy a mobile phone and call it life.

Hope they enjoy their Christmas, if they had let me know I'd have wrapped them up and stuck them, well I'd have stuck them somewhere near the tree, I'm sure that you understand.

But let's not moan all day, eh!!
