God, NatWest are a useless bunch of twonks

Had a fraud prevention call on Monday evening after placing an order for a forthcoming book with an American firm. Some robot listed various transactions, I confirmed they were legit, and the robot signed off saying my card would be unblocked within 15 minutes.

Just tried to use my card in Sainsbury's, and it was blocked

Tried calling again, and the fecking robot included the Sainsbury's transaction as a successful one in its list this time! And there's no option to speak to a human!

Just got off the phone with the fraud prevention team, who discovered that my card hadn't been automatically unblocked on Monday, but had been by my second call to the robot this evening, just before I spoke to them

Quite amusing to hear the chap briskly assuring me that my card wasn't blocked, suggesting a problem at Sainsbury's end, starting to read out the date and time it was unblocked, suddenly trailing off in confusion as he realised it was ten minutes ago...

And then profuse apologies for any embarrassment caused, etc.

This is the reason I normally use cash.

Plus the perfectly normal paranoia about the guvermint knowing what a GAL is buying of course.

This Cunning Ploy failed at the optician who wanted a card transaction, two of which failed on my visa card*, fortunately the mastercard one went through ok.



*And yes, I did enter the correct PIN. Unlike the incident at Staples when I entered the right numbers, just in the wrong order. Twice.

Deeply deeply gratified to find that the Monday edition of The South Wales Evening Post has mysteriously disappeared, presumably up the chimbly.

Naturally enough, there was sommat useful in it, unlike the 97 other copies lying about the place.

I tried to get cash out last night and the machine wouldn't let me for some strange reason.

Checked account and it has money, not overdrawn, so will have to ring the bank this morning to find out out what is going on.

Last night I was bug free only documentation to do. I'm now fixing the 85 other bugs belonging to the person who has replaced the email system at the last minute...
