By goods you mean paddles, right??

Paddles were just the tip of the iceberg.

There might be paddles. If paddles are what you need. But just let them know and they can probably source whatever it is you’re after …

Jaysus, how cold does it get there?

Freezing. By this time of year they’ve hunkered down in their camp up river while Brown Owl brainwashes them for the season of thievery to come.

This is interesting, never heard of it…

'Tis our Ruby Wedding Anniversary on Monday, how she’s put up with me and my hifi box swapping all these years I’ll never know. So, card bought, flowers arranged, gifts bought and an entire family trip away all organised and hopefully a successful celebration ahead. Now I’m not bragging but, if you’re reading this @mickbald , that’s the way to do it :sweat_smile:, just saying. (The first time in 40 years I’ve been organised)

Congratulations to you both.

This year I did remember and actually bought a card. We were an hour towards a visit to our granddaughters when I realised it was still in the draw at home, where it still resides.

Fun and games across the playing fields this evening, although audible and nothing I could see. " lie on the ground, arms by your side, don’t move ", "don’t move ", angry guttural canine growl, followed by a painful “aaagh” and then silence. I imagine an arrest has been made. Gladdens the heart it does.

I find it difficult to have sympathy for someone that used Revolut for business and managed to get talked into handing over account details and then give them the security code :roll_eyes:

While Jack was still on the phone to the scammers, a text message from Revolut arrived, asking him to confirm the exact same amount he had spent - £21.98 - by typing in a six-digit security code.

He said, “Yes, that was me,” and read out the code to the scammers.

Just a small amount of googling points out that Revolut is not a bank, has no Sect 75 protection and is not suitable for businesses.

My HSBC business account was £8 per month and has a feature that allows multiple currencies to be held. I find it bizarre why anyone would go with one of these online ‘trendy’ things to manage hundreds of thousands of business funds.

I’m pretty certain that having

  1. A premium Revolut account (apparently you can trade crypto in the app)
  2. The proceeds of a house sale
  3. Absolutely zero impulse control (he’s always charged face first into things that will obviously end badly)

was responsible for ending a friend’s marriage recently.

I haven’t asked directly but from the hints he’s dropped it would be on-brand for him to have done a Very Silly Indeed.

They’ll have to have a crackdown on cheating…

Difficult to get a level playing field, there are always strings attached.
