The perplexed namesake individual has kindly phoned me up to highlight their balls-up, but also to inform me that he has been given my: Name, home phone number (hence the direct call), bank account name, last four digits of account number, full sort code, direct debit ref, internet account number & ID, details of my order and the monthly charges. The emails he's forwarded me confirm all this. How many million am I to sue for? Have you ever had your namesake phone you out of the blue? Eta: turns out that Gmail has a strange feature whereby if you have the email johnsmith@gmail.com, any email sent to john.smith@ or jo.hn.sm.ith@ will land up in your johnsmith@ inbox. I don't know but a workmate got 500 nicker out of the Nationwide for a similar mistake and his details just went to his bidey in rather than a total stranger Sue their ass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A client texted me the other night with a screenshot of a banking transaction showing they had raised some money from the sale of some shares. They said to me “I’ve raised the £55k Shandon (names altered), where would you like me to send the money”. I replied to tell them they probably texted the wrong Shandon. Could have been a good amount to tuck behind the bar at the next P&B night out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are of a certain vintage, youl remember when the only 5 pound pint that really existed was, for some bizarre reason, the odd place you got Peroni on draught. Mental how relatively short a time there is between a 5er a pint being utterly outlandish and it being something you don't really bat an eyelid at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 If you are of a certain vintage, youl remember when the only 5 pound pint that really existed was, for some bizarre reason, the odd place you got Peroni on draught. The bizarre thing was how a decent amount of folk actually bought into it and proclaimed that it was definitely value at 60% more expensive than most everything else.Similar thing happening now with £7 pints of Beavertown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
