LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME 2020

Not often that I have a moan but the last two hours have been frustrating as while making a purchase on line, by Debit Card, the payment was questioned followed by an automated phone call from the Halifax Fraud Team asking me to ring a number but unfortunately the call cut off before the number was given. I then had to find their number online and on phoning them got the usual press this, press that, press this, press that button, followed by a message that it could be 10 minutes, or more, before getting a person to talk to
When I did eventually get through and explained what had happened the Advisor asked me for my Security Number. I asked "what Security Number?" and she said "The letter that we sent you over two years ago gave you a Security Number". So I said "You want me to remember a number from two years ago of a letter of which I don't even remember?"........which was followed by a silence from the other end of the phone. As an alternative I was asked a series of questions regarding payments into my account and who had paid them last month........so not having the details to hand I was reduced to guessing
Eventually, when she was convinced I was who I said I was she asked if I had had a SMS message from them......."well, no, but I did tell you I have had an automated call from you asking me to ring you"......silence again, and then "Okay, I'll make out a form and pass it onto my colleague and put your phone onto his...............which ended with 15 minutes of ring, ring, ring, "please stay on the line, ring, ring, ring, before, after another 15 minutes, it was answered. I then had to explain the whole situation again, was asked some more security questions, etc, before my Debit card was cleared but told to wait about 10 minutes before I could try to complete my original purchase.
Then I went back to the Computer...........only to find the Net connection had gone down...........which took a lot of checking of connections and retrying until after about another 30 minutes I got back online, made the purchase, and reached for my Mug of Tea.

 

Well, maybe a glass of the "BALVENIE" just to for medicinal purposes and get my sense of humour back.

 

I've just checked, Upsydaisy, and I've got all the ingredients in the cupboards.....might give it a try.

 

Sorry, nothing goes to waste in this House, Upsydaisy, even a thimble full

 

The Police in Manchester have reported over 400 house parties and one large party in the City centre where the organiser was given a £10,000 fine.

 

Would that be of the..........
