Yes @queenjess it's a bit of a who's who of the British TV drama establishment. We get points in our house for spotting crossovers (points don't mean prizes and no-one keeps score - still, we all love points, extra for early shouts on who's about to get done over and how)Choose kind

I was thinking I'd have a look at the app, I've never used it before, but....the cashpoint has rejected it! It's one of those cheques where it writes a word in boxes saying millions (LOL) / 100's of thousands / 10's of thousands / thousands / hundreds / tens / units and of course they all say "zero", so the cashpoint didn't like it. It just needed another box for "pence" - surely that's more likely to be populated than the millions box?!?!? If the app is no go, then I might need to take the shame and hand it in over the counter - will see what the free money total looks like at the end of the month 🤣!coldcazzie said:
