'At Paypal, we want to increase your security and comfort'. It sounds a bit like one of those adverts for elasticated, teflon-coated slacks.

 

:lollol::lollol:

 

I'm not sure that sounds altogether comfortable, Shiney. I'm still scarred from those scratchy wool cardigans my granny used to knit and that was outer clothing.

 

I have recieved one from the UN this morning !!!!

We look forward to reading it, Robert.

I know HSBC has received a lot of negative publicity recently, but I'm really impressed with the service it's offering. It has noticed some very dodgy activity on my account and is most anxious to make sure that I don't suffer as a result. All this, and I'm not even a client.
