    Have to admit, would have been a laugh having the phone conversation about it.

    There was a slight technical issue with our standing order processing today. Some accounts were debited by up to £1m because of the issue. Everything has now been put right.

    It was kind of interesting to get in this morning and see a list of pay/no pay authorization requests for a few million.
    What would William Shatner do?

    "Part P" is not, and has never been, an accredited electrical qualification. It is a Building Regulation. No one can be "Part P qualified."

    Nice one! :D
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Ah come one, we've all had those nights out at the students union where you spend a bit more than you planned to!

    Suddenly the benefits of the Personal Reserve become obvious to everyone. You can keep debit balances of up to two trillion pounds for a week and only ever be charged £22, interest free. Much better deal imho. ;)

    Shame it wasn't a £100bn credit really... :D
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂
