The size of the box was crazy compared to the black label contents. The banana was only to let people see the size of the box.

Who says I bought Candlepower?

Ray just saw it on the news. He was fish-tailing which I assume was making the back end of the car shake side to side

Can I swear?

My 'king bank has sent me 3 'king letters to tell me I'm over my limit by 70p / €1!!!!

I know I have no money and this now makes me £75.70 over my limit.

Write to your bank and ask for:-

1) evidence, in black and white that you had been made aware of these charges if you were to exceed your limit.
2) request their justification, in writing, for the level of the charges.
3) take any reponses to your local Citizen's Advice Bureaux if you have one, if you do not have one write to the Banking Ombudsman, sending copies of what you have received from the Bank.
4) Nils illigitimus carborundum.
