What is happening to Barclays Bank?

While sorting out--I come across loads of unopened Business Bank Statements for 2 accounts I don't use for 2 years----but never closed formally (my fault)

I discover that I was incurring quartely fees + interest etc and I owed £197

Rang them up and said that it was a bit unfair--they could see i wasn't using the account

They said--we agree-wrote off the £197 and closed the accounts--

Re: The Happy Stuff Thread

We took the Grandchildren to Chester Zoo last weekend. Brilliant but very tiring, changed a bit since the last time I went, more like a Disney resort than a zoo now, not a bad thing and they do have licenced bars.
On the way in they take your picture in front of a green screen, it isn’t compulsory but the girl was very nice and it was free so what the hey.
On the way out you pass a large display where all the pictures are arranged in attractive packs, the idea is you search through them until you find yours and then purchase. I found ours eventually after about half an hour, strangely there was no price on the pack. I needn’t have worried because a young man appeared that will be £17.50 he said. This annoyed me a bit, I realise everyone has to make a living, but it seemed to me that this was extortion.
I hurriedly put them back on the display and said, “no sale” he then said OK then mate I will do you a favour call it a tenner. This annoyed me even more, obviously thought he would be able to rip off this doddery old git, it occurred to me that he was in a pretty weak position with regard to marking a bargain, let’s face it a picture of my family only has the value I decide to place on it, he could try selling it to someone else I suppose. I decided to have a bit of fun, fifty pence I said. We settled on £3 served them right.

The last time I went to Chester Zoo we had a lovely day. Doubt if I'd recognise the place now though. We went for a birthday treat for our son's 2nd birthday - he's 21 now....

I want to go the Zoo, not been in years, my oldest son taken his girlfriend to a few of them over the last few months, she is animal mad and is going to London Uni for a few years, as she would like to be a vet, so they've been making most of their spare time together now.

Re: The Happy Stuff Thread

Dudley Zoo is only about 4 miles from me, haven't been there for years either, I believe they've had loads of improvements there over the last few years, it's supposed to be a lovely zoo now. They always had meerkats there, too.

Re: The Happy Stuff Thread

Chester zoo is huge you can spend a day there easily and not see everything, but you have to be able to do a lot of walking so i struggled a bit. If you go, take a picnic there are lots of places to sit if you are lucky enough to get a nice day as we did, the cafe's are a bit on the expesive side.

Re: The Happy Stuff Thread

What a good idea this thread is.

Last week it was my better half’s birthday; my son showed up just before lunch and announced he was taking us both to a nice restaurant for lunch as a treat. At the end of the meal the waiter came out with a cake and we all sang happy birthday, the cake had happy birthday and sixty in pink icing written on the top, his mum is 59. That’s my boy, heart as big as a bucket head away with the fairies just like his old man, lucky she has a good sense of humour.

Re: The Happy Stuff Thread

It's been a while, has no-one had any happy news? I've got some

Jess has been taken on permanently at her job, which was originally a 6 month contract. She was also offered another job, but made the choice to stay where she is.
Lewis won tickets to Rihanna at the O2 tonight, complete with train travel and a posh hotel. He couldn't go so he gave the package to our best friends (his Godparents) as it's their wedding anniversary.

Oh yes - and I got that job more money, better hours, mobile phone, healthcare package, 2 more days holiday per year..


pity some barsteward put the dampers on it by nicking Tony's car from outside our house a couple of hours ago....but hey ho, as a close friend has just said... who cares? It's insured and I have a new job:grin:
