So why post it here?

You are not a newbie, you really should know better.

How nasty do you want to be? I would like to thank the person who put it on here because I myself was having problems so a huge THANKS from me :beer:

It definitely has some relevance, imagine someone sees a hot bargain posted here and goes out specially to get it. Only they have to get some money out on the way..... YOUNGE1 has just saved them a trip:beer:

Yes I agree TOTALLY, just done a thanks to you for this....as I was going to go to the new toy store in Sheffield (Smyths) but might not bother now if I can't pay on my debit card or draw cash out of the cash machine.

OMG - this will make things difficult for a lot of people. They better sort this soon ...... :eek:

Thanks for letting us know OP. I'm sure that your taking the time to post this important info (at the risk of get nagged at on here about posting anything other than a grabbit in this forum) is appreciated by many people, including myself.

You just saved me a trip to town to withdraw money from my account (and the parking costs to park in town on Saturday which are astronomical).

You see over a period of time the same names crop up with negatives about posting in the wrong place. Its the only thing they contribute, never anything of any use.
They moan about clogging up the board but what are their posts doing?
When you do post a grabbit someone seems to be petty and move it these days anyway.
Thanks for the information OP.
