    What do you mean 'can you keep it'?

    It's some other poor sods money that you are asking if you can thieve.........

    or you could always spend it on a lobotomy reversal you so obviously need.

    If you read the other non-abusive replies previously given, you'll see that they can keep it if the money is still there in 6 years time.

    Wouldn't have thought £947 would cover a lobotomy reversal? Did you get a staff discount?

    Very good. Did you think of that yourself.
    Probably seeing as how a minimum wage monkey such as yourself has alot of time on their hands.

    Oh dear. What a disappointing reposte.

    And you're attempting to throw an insult at those on the minimum wage into the mix? There's an old saying that you don't judge a man by the job he does, but how he does that job. I do have some family who are on the minimum wage and work damned hard to earn a crust rather than settle for benefits.

    If you were a regular contributor to the board rather than an occasional insult thrower, you'd maybe have a better appreciation of why I'm in a position to spend a bit of time on here helping others. Why not stick to the Rants and Outrage forum where your line in abusive banter will be appreciated?

    We had a similar thing where I worked a few months back. All card payments that were made over a 3 day period were shown twice on statements (but not debited twice from the bank account)

    I expect your card provider already knows about the error and that corrections will be made in due course.

    I wouldn't earn more in a week than you do in a month if i 'just sat in my armchair'.
    From your post i would say your standards are so low even a limbo dancer would fail to reach them.

    Yeah, there's nothing wrong in being on the minimum wage. A descent job is something every person must be proud of.
