My mum once put the cat in the tumble drier, it was only because she got sidetracked and forgot to turn it on that she escaped. I watched dumbfounded from the kitchen table, hoping that I ever got like that someone would give me the injection.
Good point ! If she was dozy and picked up his chequebook by accident, fair enough. But to then sign it and the bank then cashed it ?
Unless his mums christian name begins with M as well and Miles has the same signature as her ??!
..or she signed her own name and the bank are so dosy they didn't even look at it.
So...we have established,
Miles is careless (leaving it at work)
His mom enjoys dressing as a schoolgirl and embezzling money from him
Mile can exist on 100 quid a month and has far too much vacation time
His girlfriend is financially astute (someone buy her art please)
And banks are filled with tellers who don't know their arse from their elbows.
having someone in the family with the same initial is ***ing annoying. have it for years, and with AA cards etc.. they put "P" on the card , not a full name.. so have to know what number is what person
I had a bank card delivered to my parenteral home.. and well my mum "assumed" it was for her.. but a later letter came saying your pin is "xyz"
I thought WTF is the card.. so she goes "Oh here your new card about 3 weeks later"
either way, bank should not hold YOU liable.. as they shouldn't be allowing cheques with bad signatures to be passed. I'm assuming her signature is VERY different from yours..
any excuse for them to make money outta BS. and I'm fed up paying their staff's mortgages and getting s*** returns on my ISA's
we have different initials, but the same surname, the sigs aren't similar. she signs her full name and i use just an m
its annoying cos when i was at the bank a few years ago they made me give a sample to stop this sort of thing.
i'll be giving the bank hell when i see them. i could understand if it was forged but there isn't an excuse to mistake Jeanette for an m . dozy bastards.
that said, i will see how what they are going to do about it. they might be really helpfull, they always have been in the past.
seen a test done on tv before,a couple,each with their chip and pin credit card swapped them,but gave each other the pin to each others card,they used them in the shops and no one checked the name or asked for id when they used the card!

I had the opposite situation when I was over in England in October visiting my parents.
I was buying some bisto gravy granules to bring back with me...total of less than 10 quid...tesco or safeway or somewhere like that...
I offered up my VISA card to pay and she told me to put it in the chip card reader thing. I said it doesn't have a chip...so she takes it and stares at it perplexed, I explained I was from Texas and it was an American card (in my Manchester accent which must have confused her further)...she asked for ID...I produced my Texas drivers license....she called her supervisor over who said they don't take it...I yes you do...IT'S VISA....another supervisor/manager came over and finally did the deed....all for less than 10 quids worth of gravy.

Miles - glad you've managed to 'solve it', i still wouldnt keep a cheque book in your drawer at work though !

Schoolgirl error surely?
Mile does your mom have schoolgirl outfit?
