So, I thought to myself, I would go and check my paypal balance now that I had 10 fully paid for auctions running including one extra special all singing all dancing auction worth 35p from Misterpop. I must be getting seriously rich by now. Woohoo.......
And my paypal balance - an amazing, incredible, fantastic....................13p, WTF ???
Those greedy f***ing bankers at paypal are charging me 20p to receive each 20p payment. so if Ian had not paid me the extra 15p for extras I would be left with the grand total of 0.00.
So I have refunded all payments, So now you can run the balance up to £10ish and then pay, keep paying the 20p per auction by day - and I'll refund you each night.
What a wonderful way to do business. thanks paypal...............your company is a fucking JOKE. not to mention owned and run by a corrupt bunch of criminals.
Oh for a world without banks. bliss,
I really really really should have known exactly what to expect, especially as those total a***holes at BARCLAYS cost me an extra £400 in motor insurance - all because my insurance documents were a day late, Which was because my insurance company had accidently posted them to a field in Scotland instead of my sons flat, for the fourth or fifth time. In 12 months. despite me phoning them on 4 or 5 occasions to give them the correct postal address.
It was the second time the documents had accidently been sent to the field, The previous occasion I needed to produce them at the Paisley Police station, I had been stopped by armed police while driving a customers car. My "accomplices" and I were suspected in being involved in a violent assault, my accomplices were 9 months pregnant and her 2 year old daughter.
The police finally realised it was a case of mistaken BMW, But I still had to produce my documents at the police station. so I arrived at the police station clutching my MOT (vehicle test) certificate but without my motor insurance certificate. The police officer said "thats no good on its own" and sent me on my way.
So here I was, 2 weeks later, with yet another insurance document, back at the police station, I showed the duty officer my certificate, where's your MOT certificate he said, I gave it back to the owner because I had already produced it, well we have no record of it - you'll just have to produce it again.
And with that he shoved the insurance document back at me. But he must have recorded it I protested, he assured me it had not been recorded as being produced.
The officer would have recorded it if you had you produced it sir he said once again.
But again I protested it had been produced, So, You always record all documents when being produced I said.
Yes sir, that is correct he said.
always ?.
now if there's nothing else sir. we are very busy.
I turned to leave, and then it struck me, I asked him to show me where he had recorded my documents, He snatched the insurance certificate back out of my hands and took it into another room to enter the details in a book. I heard nothing further from the police despite it being recorded that I could not produce my MOT.
I have to be really honest here. 99% of the Scottish police I met could not be more helpful so I would not want to smear their good name, I have the utmost respect for them, And some of my best mates are Scottish policemen
