Have to tell you this one. I got a letter from Cap1 today headed
"Important information about cashback on your Capital One Account".
I thought, here we go, they're going to stop it. No so. Read on " After your card was reported lost or stolen in 2006, we blocked your account and set up a new one. However, do to a systems issue we did not apply the correct amount of casback to some of the transactions to your new account. To rectify this error, we will apply this cashback as a credit of (wait for it) £0.02 to your account. You will see this on your next statement" How crazy is this? It must have cost them a few quid to process the letter,a and I wouldn't have noticed anyway. What a waste of money!

Hey, that's £0.02 more than I ever got from Capital one!
You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.0 -

Yep, that made me smile.
A few years ago, after rounding down a column of figures for the taxman,we paid the tax due, and received a demand a couple of weeks later for 1 penny
The fact that the stamp on it was 24p.ish, was academic.:rolleyes:

They are either obligated to inform you this way, or someone didn't plan too far ahead and made a 'minimum amount' a requirement for sending the letters out.
I'll take a punt on the latter.Conjugating the verb 'to be":
-o I am humble -o You are attention seeking -o She is Nadine Dorries0
