    Manchester is only an hour from me, but I would be too scared other people from work would turn up (evil american credit card in chester)

    They are on here, I know who the are, I just dont know their board names but they are lurking :think:
    No Longer works for MBNA as of August 2010 - redundancy money will be nice though.

    oscar - have to say, I've been to 2 meets and don't know of anyone who works for a CC company who has attended and I know that nobody who went to Brum or Glasgow was in that kind of job from your part of the world. Anyway - if they are DFW'ers they will be in the same position as anyone else financially so there would be no need to be embarrassed etc.

    Come along and have some fun - it's a great day out :)

    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Was gonna say I'll book a room and people can share, but I've given my card to my sister to stop me spending on it! I can always drive and come back the same night though.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
