Bank error in your favour

'some' of money! MEN really is shite.

They were quoting from the Liverpool Echo which makes them very shite.

It's still theft even from a big company, have you no sole?

They’ll have bigger fish to fry

Santander sent me a new credit card as my existing one was coming to its expiry
I activated the new card on the phone and then went into town with my daughter who wanted to buy her mum (wifey) a birthday present
I said I'd put it on my card to double check it was working and it was declined
We had a laugh with the cashier, explaining it was a new card and eventually settled using another
I rang Santander, told them the card was declined at the till and the lad immediately said to my total surprise "will £30 compensate you for the embarrassment?"
I accepted and thought I wish you'd embarrass me a couple of times a day

He should have ' spent it ' on premium bonds, shares, investments etc etc and sat on it for a year or two.

That would've been the sensible thing to do. Of course, stocks and shares can go down as well as up but some wise low-risk investment choices would've probably seen him make a few quid before inevitably being asked for the money back.

The bloke is a fucking idiot. Despite the bank themselves being idiots and telling him he could spend it, he knew that it wasn't really his money in the first place. In any case, I'm not sure he's "lost" anything. Surely he can just go and sell the property that he'd bought anyway and downsize back to where he was. In fact, house prices have been rising over the past 12 months so he should make a profit. Unless he's a lying bastard and he's blown a fair chunk of the £110k on something else instead.

I bought two, yes two, langoustines in Morrisons earlier today. They were badged at £1.50 each and imagine my surprise and delight when the ticket showed as £1.50 for both. I immediately chanced my arm and asked the vendor for two, yes two, more and lo, another ticket for £1.50.

Should I put them in a separate fridge just in case?

Even out doing the rags in the food department. They have the prawn sandwich brigade, we have a langoustine one. ;-)

Which is why I asked if he was a scouser. They only cover the inbreds normally.

I had a rebate of 147 quid from a car rental company on a Nationwide credit card. Left it for 3 months and then spent it.

Mrs Moon had a £1.5k payment from her/our Occupational Pensions office 2 months ago, nothing on her on-line statements but,as she had to change pension schemes (Civil Service) a few years before she left which hasn't been settled yet it could be from that....anyway she emailed them (rather than the bloke above 'checking') and had a reply they'd get back to her within 5 working days. Approximately 60 days later and nothing.....

We've just took it out of our current account and put it in with our other savings for the time being until it's sorted. If nothing happens in a few months we'll consider it ours, if it's found not to be sometime later at least there'll be an email timestamp and they can have it back at £10pm.

Is she 60?

Old PCSP scheme had retirement at 60, potentially a lump sum from that?

Marvellous, thankyou sir.
