What really annoys me about this sort of thing is I reckon it's the card skimmer people who are a huge part of bank charges increasing so rapidly. I've never heard of an instance where someone's had their card skimmed and not had the money returned to them. Banks must be losing an absolute fortune over this sort of thing.

3 of my friends had their cards cloned the other day, bringing the total for 4 people I know to £1000 in the last week!

This is probably true. Banks are losing money this way so they have to make it up somehow.

Reminds me of that episode of Bottom.


"My grandfather's old pocket-watch seems awfully light."

"Yes, I removed a few parts from it - it was making an awful dint in your waistcoat pocket. I got rid of them at that antiquey watch place. Have you seen my new motorbike?"

Well yesterday I got a call from the "Dont Get Done, Get Dom" producer....

It was suggested the other night that Dom Littlewood helped a women in my situation and managed to get her lots of compensation to so without thinking emailing a tv company would mean a possible tv appearance I emailed him. Anyway they seemed quite understanding but said wait untill someone gets in touch (yorkshire, ombudsmen, police) and let them know asap.

I cant imagine the police getting in touch anytime soon and the ombudsmen take ages aparently so doesnt look like i'll be getting my money back anytime soon but at least I have the TV on my side! (i cant imagine anything than going on tv about this)
