Fucking online banking. Been due cashback from Barclays for booking a holiday through Expedia.
I have called Barclays and Expedia both 4 times today who keep giving me another number to phone. Now been on the phone for 45 minutes as I have said I am not being transfered again and want my money!!

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

Drivers who think that there is a 40mph speed limit on all rural roads.

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?

Considering it was running on dust when I arrived at the pump I think not.

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.

 

[Otis]

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.

Interesting. I have always trusted my sat nav.

Me too. But you drive through one farmers field and you never hear the end of it.

Why, what's the speed limit for them?

 

[Astute]

Very slow if stuck behind a tractor.

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.

 

[Otis]

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.

I don't talk in the cinema. I'm normally too busy snoring.

People who snore in the cinema.

 

[Otis]

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.

Neighbours who think they can re-direct a downpipe off their property straight onto your kitchen roof without asking. The fuckin cheeky twat

Dicks that take up a machine in the gym, do 5 reps, then sit on their phone on the machine for the next 10 mins before their next set... good workout that...

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.

Filling the tank and then it's 4p a litre cheaper 4 days later.

My Granddad used to drive up to 20 miles to save 1p a gallon on his petrol, so consider yourself lucky!
