    I know, you don;t realise how confusing it is til you have to take overground! I usually get cabs, too many back streets for my liking.... you never know, could bump into lots of 'vice' on way to Liverpool street! Lots of ermmm, sports bars ;)

    always seem to get distracted when I walk! :rotfl:

    I didnt appeal .What happened was I applied , heard nothing - they called me to confirm a few details and heard nothing again...meanwhile credit checked and then checked again.I called to ask what was happening and was told it had gone to the underwriters , the lady said that was unsual , and could she take a number to call me. Anyway I forgot about it again , phone went and it was the same lady to say , 'youre application has been accepted and a agreement or paperwork has been sent out'!I then asked what sort of limit I was given ....and £4k!!!!!!!!

    Wow..!

    excellent - well done jammy sod! card is smart - you got gold one or normal one? :beer: I got gold but its more black - its smart looking though! sad but true.

    I started on £3k but got 2 reductions, due to dodgy credit file - arghhh! Now set at £1k, however should go up again in the next 3 months after 6mth usage!
