catmandu Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Close relative got a letter explaining that she had been turned down for a credit card. No reason was stated, but it wasn't a surprise as relative has no credit history (building a credit history was primary reason for requesting credit card). One week later (today), credit card turns up in the post. Nice to see the banks are back at the top of their game. Plus had to wait 40 minutes at a cafe for the chef to make a sandwich and (lukewarm, largely cold) soup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was overcooked and the mug had a stain. Some might ask what I was expecting with for £1.69 at Whetherspoons but to me it was undeniable proof the country is going down the toilet.
