i think this is what's known as 'telephone banking' (as opposed to 'online' banking)

Had to try be a smartass
Well considering it was all booked through online banking, and that is where the fuck up has happened, which is why i am having to phone, it's online banking which is the problem.

fair enough, although going on your experience this morning you should probably add 'telephone banking' to your list too.

How about banking in general, would be nice to be so rich that didn't have to worry about cashback

There is worse than that. Those that only know 40mph full stop.

You get stuck behind them at 40 in a 60. Then when they reach a 30 they continue at 40 including past schools at finishing time.

Then you have those who get as close to the windscreen because they can't see very well and think it makes a difference.

We had a little bonus on a transaction the other day. Went to get petrol from Morrison's and filled up the car and it came to £46.05.

Next day the transaction appeared on the bank statement as minus £1.

Whoo hoo!!! That's pretty darn cheap petrol.

have you checked that the pump didn't suck the petrol out of your tank?

Yes!

My other half is from deepest darkest Cornwall and some of the driving by tourists around there is awful. I understand many of them don't know the roads but to go 20 on a 60 and then refuse to pull over in the, many, lay buys. Frustrates me no end.

Simple solution. Just leave your sat nav on. It gives you all the speed limits for all the roads.

I know the speed limits round there. The vast majority are 50 or 60, even some of the tiny roads that I wouldn't go more than 10mph down. Just some emmits are happy to block up people and not pull over for 30 seconds is what gets to me.

Yeah, get that, but when I am driving somewhere new I am not always sure of the limits, so just leave the sat nav on with no destination set and it will just autopilot. Just then need to glance to check the limit.

Maybe just your use of technology. I’ve never had an issue with online banking. And I’m a Barclays customer.

Got told off for suggesting that at a speed awareness course. Apparently they aren’t always accurate. I did learn about the streetlight rule with speed limits though, that was interesting.

Haha considering I'm from the computer generation trust me it's not my use of it!
The reason I was transferred so many times, is because even they said they had fucked up, and they ended up having to get a manager of their own accord because they had fucked up so bad...

People who want you to guess things you have no idea about at all and give you no clues at all, to the point even when it's a child I just outright say something stupid and end that line of conversation.

You know when your wife comes and picks you up after a game and tells you come out a bit early and you miss a second goal right at the end of the match in a 2-0 victory?

You know that, yeah?

That annoys me.

Americans who don't understand the English accent
Americans who don't get irony
Religious people who want to impose their own views on others
People who talk in the cinema
People who take a holier than thou attitude to profanity

You know the film The Perfect Storm? Described as the noisiest film of all time.

I slept through the entire movie.

Don't know whether I snored or not though, as I was asleep at the time.

Wait for them to get off, double the weight and make sure they know you have.

A good tut or shake of the head while you up the weight usually does it.
