ever made 218 quid and not have a penny to show for it that wasn`t yours to begin with?
it All started several months ago... < insert wavey flashback lines>
a Direct Debit that we canceled got reactivated and cash was taken out, that lead us to being overdrawn, cutting it short the charges were 78 quid total, I went to the bank to see the manager and sort it, and she did, all charges dropped etc.. (Phew).
came out the bank to see a traffic warden giving us a ticket! (70 quid to pay it off!) needless to say I had a word with him and he agreed to drop the penalty but I still had to go to the head office and sort it that end. we shook hands and off we went...
we got to head office and I explained that he`d dropped the penalty his side and that I needed to sort it this side etc...
it came back on the computer that we`de already had a ticket once and they wouldn`t cancel it!
(we had`nt had a ticket before) so I challenged that and Eventually it came back that it was on the Address and not US personally, the date was before we even lived here, so my wife goes out to the car to show evidence of this, and guess what?
Yes Another parking ticket!
I couldn`t help myself, I just bust out laughing (much to my wifes disgust), and I slapped that ticket on the counter and said "oh yeah, and while you`re at it, do this one for us as well please <Big Grin>".
so anyway, we got the original ticket canceled (making a total of 148 quid UP) and the local council are going to challenge the second ticket for us on our behalf, making a Grand total of 218 quid and not a penny to show for it!
so... what do You guys do on an otherwise Boring Tuesday?
