Late Saturday night I went on line to book a short break in Marrakech but was told by the travel company that they could not deal with my request at that time, so I went to bed a bit hacked off. On Sunday I was taking someone out to dinner so I went to a cash point to get some cash and had my debit card refused, so no dinner. I went home and rang the bank and was told that my card was stopped as they thought the Marrakech trip was a fraudulent transaction so they blocked my card. I told the bank that it was genuine and that I would rebook the trip today and they took the block off the card. I booked the trip this morning and everything went through ok, this afternoon I did a big shop in the co-op and you guessed it, my card was blocked again. I had to leave all the food behind, came back and rang the bank and guess what, yes, thats it, they thought they saw another fraudulent transaction, even though I told them about it the day before.
It must be national "Pi55 off the nice guy day"
