  • No pennies in the pot for me today - might 'lift' some from hubby's trousers later.:A

    Well - I did save hime from financial ruin (kinda) last night. :p

    This is what happened: We went out to Marylebone High Street, London. Had a couple of drinkies then went across to Strada for food. yum-yum.

    Then we're walking down the street and OH decides to check the balance of his account on a cash machine. So I carry on walking slowly - as we wanted to hail a cab. 10 mins later, hubby is still at cashpoint - and I'm getting cross.....

    So I walk back up to him and he says 'the machine's kept my card' and he's trying to call his bank - and there's a message on the screen saying' do not enter your pin, contact your card supplier immediately.'

    I look at the machine - and it's TOTALLY obvious to me there's a 'device' on the slot :mad::mad::mad: So I pull it, and it comes off - and there's OH's card.:T:T:T

    I say quick, let's move it as the crims will be watching us - and not happy with my superhero activities.:D:D:D

    So we hail a cab, and leave. THEN hubby tells me that some dodgy bloke appeared as soon as his card was taken - and said 'yeah, yeah mate, it took my card too. Have you put your pin in? Try doing that then you might get it back.' Luckily my hubby was not a total numpty and was not gonna put his pin in infront of anyone...:rolleyes:

    Anyhow, bet the crims were peeved as we removed the card and the device.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    So - can I have permission to rob hubby myself of a couple of coins? Surely I've earned them.:o:o:o
    :grin: Save me from spending...

    George Henry Lees. Sparky'll agree with me when he's back on here. Ber he remembers Blacklers too. You could get anything from Blacklers. It was fantastic.
