    With me it was £80!!! They only checked Experian and in theory is for me the worst for adverse history:D My Equifax is much sweeter to look at. But now I have £2000 limit, but never use that much, I too like to see all the green '0' building.

    £80! That's a bit stingy :eek:. What is your credit limit with them now?

    Yeah, i'll try my JD Williams account number later.

    Well, you had a good time anyway. Presumably you don't have to pay for the rides, it must be a perk of the job?

    I spent a lovely day on the Grand Union canal in a narrow-boat. Learnt about the 'liquid waterways' of London. We drifted along from Camden Lock to Little Venice and then back again. Very pleasant indeed :T
    So good to hear that your day has also been good, sounds lovely.
    In my job I get free entry to everywhere be it theme parks, castles, museums, racecourses. Normally get free meals to which is a bonus, add to that tips and my daily rate and its all good :beer:

    My mistake, it was Regent's Canal. Grand Union joins onto it, but that goes in the oppo direction and takes you towards Birmingham :eek: :rotfl:

    Well, i'll try tomorrow. I've got an online survey to complete tonight.
