Good news,
today my building society paid back the money stolen
from my account a number of weeks ago. £1,600
in all, I thought it was £1,200 but I assume they
can add up better than me, after all, it's their job.
According to the letter I received my card had been
cloned and the pin number stolen but God knows when
that must have happened, I thought I was always quite
vigilant when entering my PIN number… obviously
not vigilant enough. The exciting part of the letter
said that they had apprehended the people who had been
using the cloned card, I guess this must have been in
somewhere exotic as all the money withdrawals had been
in Colombia. I wonder if I will be called upon to star
in one of those crime reconstructions with Trevor McDonald?
No, of course not, they always get someone else to play
the part of the victim of crime. I should like Tom Cruise
to play me before my bank card theft and possibly Judi
Dench to play me after, she's got slightly more hair
than me but apart from that I think the resemblance
is uncanny. With this exciting thought in mind I celebrated
my good fortune (getting me £1.6K back, not the
idea of Judi Dench playing me in a crime reconstruction)
with two slices of wholemeal toast spread thickly with
Nutella.
