Ah well, M_Cuth, as long a it's not uncouth, who cares.

I take slight umbrage at your horror at being suspected of having a Scottish connection, tho. Remember, you were on the right side of the border at one time. At least , you wouldn't have to pay for your care in old age or your student fees had you remained so. We are, for the most part, an okay bunch: the further north the better: west is best but east not least.

Your bunnet's fair bonnie. You should keep the Avatar: nice smiley, open face to which all banks should return unlawful charges. Oh what the heck! All businesses should return all unfair charges placed upon you, dear, sweet, English mannie.

Here's tae yiz aw!

Btw, how many Scots made it down?

I have received the information on my accounts going back 6 (six) years but not going back to the begining of my hsitory with the bank, as I requested.

Think I'd best send a letter suggesting they send the lot and informing them that I have already paid the £10 for such information.

Mairi's awaiting my details so that she can help me work out the interest due on the charges taken.

Personal: growing and changing while ever remaining the same. Get to know me and tell me what I'm like coz I can't figure me out.

Given that between us we had such trouble finding the OFT HQ, the hotel, the pub, the hotel (again), somewhere to serve beer after 10:30, door keys, a taxi, the hotel (again), the car park where we had parked the car, and a road out of London, I think we have done pretty damn well claiming anything back off the banks!

You most certainly did.

I think you should reclaim your expenses form the banks etc as, if it hadn't been for them, you wouldn't have had to make the outlay: just don't let on that you all enjoyed a fabby time because of their greed. Tee hee hee!

Oh huge hugs and Xs to you all.

I want loads of warning for the next march.

BF was canny enough to cap the bar bill, although it was good of him, so thanks again BF if you see this.

Yorkshireman,

Weak in th' 'ead.

Michael C - you got my respect. Despite the avatar pic, mate (with the pink 'at) , you have mine, indeed. One helluva good guy. Brolly intact & all ? !!

BF was canny enough to cap the bar bill although it was very welcome. Cheers BF.

VS I think the Channel 5 news clip shows the Scottish contingent, although given the distance I think that is understandable. Apologies to any Scots I missed as you can never meet everybody. That reminds me.

Janquinny I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you even though I'd heard you were there.

I was obviously much worse than I thought. Believe me I remember the walk back to the hotel! I had a curry with Morgan so I remember him. I think I'll go and hide in a corner to get over the humiliation.

Paul who? lol
