    I know its just the colour of the plastic but then again why is it such a big deal to them? This logic works the other way round - they have given me all the components of their 'better' cards - why are they worried about the colour of the plastic? To be honest the only reason I want a different card is because I work with some rather snobby people and have to use my card at work.

    I really thought this type of thing died out years ago. If they judge you by what you carry in your wallet then they must be all very fickle. Sack them I say!

    However I long to be treated as a pauper but with my Black and Platinum card its hard to convince people.

    Snobbery in reverse.

    It did die out years ago, it's normally people full of decent or even loads of credit cards in their wallet who haven't got a pot to pi*s in.

    Personnel manager does all the hiring not me. Don't think I could cope with doing that as well! Already do uni 5 days a week and work the other two.

    Everyone makes mistakes and says things they don't mean I guess. I know I have done it before and when I've stopped and thought it might upset someone I feel really bad about it. Wouldn't want to harm someones career over something silly like this.
